4-H
2017 4-H Categories
RULES:
Eligibility:
Age – any youth between the ages of 5-18 as of
1/1/2017 may enter projects they have made --
at school, church, 4-H or home.
Entries must not have been previously entered in
the Powell County Fair.
Residence – Youth entering the 4-H Division
must reside or attend school in Powell County.
All exhibits MUST be “family friendly” or they
will be disqualified.
Premiums for the 4-H exhibits are different than
open class. Premiums for Cloverbuds will be
half the premiums for 4-H age youth for each
ribbon type, except overall best Cloverbud
exhibit and champion/reserve ribbons.
Class Champion/Reserve Winners will be selected
from blue ribbon winners ONLY! Decisions of
the judges are final!
Judges will be selecting participants for the 2018
Kentucky State Fair from Class Champion/
Reserve county fair entries. Some classes and
those exhibits entered by Cloverbuds are not
eligible for the State Fair. 2018 Kentucky State
Fair exhibitors will be notified by July 2018 so
keep track of all those Class Champion/Reserve
entries in case you get to send them onto the
State Fair.
4-H exhibits may be dropped off at the Extension
Office anytime during the week before the fair
or on Monday, September 11th from 10:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. at the Lions Club Building. Any-
one can enter your exhibits for you – they will
need a completed Exhibitor Information
Form to enter your projects.
Exhibits MUST be picked up on Friday, September
15th between 2:00 - 5:00 p.m., after that time
they will be at the Extension Office. Exhibits
not be picked up will be discarded after a few
weeks unless prior arrangements
have been made.
Youth may enter only one exhibit per
Age as of January 1, 2017

Each youth should complete this form and bring
with them to enter their 4-H Exhibits– this will
speed up your entry process greatly!
Powell County needs your help. If you have a great time at the fair and want to be more involved
now is the perfect time to volunteer and enjoy our county fair at the same time!
We need volunteers to work Monday September 11th entering exhibits & helping judges. This will
be from 9 a.m. until 8-9 p.m. No need to work the entire time, even an hour or two is appreciated.
More volunteer opportunities coming up as the Powell County Fair gets closer as well.
If you are interested please give us a call at the
Extension Office using the number below to sign up!
(606) 663-6405
Let’s start with the State Fair. The Kentucky State Fair hosts 4-H projects in 18 divisions from across
the state in a place where 4-H'ers can showcase their projects called Cloverville. In order to
exhibit a 4-H project in Cloverville, 4-H'ers must first compete in their county fair and be selected
to advance to the Kentucky State Fair. You are probably thinking “That’s great, but why should I
enter anything into the Powell County Fair?” For starters, you get to show off your talents. Maybe
you have a green thumb and grow the best looking tomatoes around, perhaps you’re the shutter-
bug of the family, or you just might give famous bakers a run for their money. That cutting board
your Grandfather taught you how to make? It can be entered too, as well as that quilt you worked
on last winter with your Grandmother. Oh and did I mention that you WILL win a cash prize just for
entering projects? That’s right, every entry receives a ribbon (1st, 2nd or 3rd), every ribbon has a
cash value and to top it all off — you just may be the one selected and given the opportunity to go
to State Fair next year with your exhibit next year! But most importantly by entering your piece in-
to the Powell County Fair, you will get the chance to show the people of Powell County and every-
one who stops by the Exhibit Hall all the great talent that the youth of our community has!
So Check out the categories, pick some projects, fill out the form and bring it on over to start the
fun!
