2018 Franklin County 4-H Pre-Fair Packet This packet does not include horse project information. Go to fchorse.org for horse project info.

This packet of information is provided so that 4-H families can get through the 4-H project evaluation process with an increased knowledge of what to expect. Included in the packet are:

1. Specific times for members to check-in for their project evaluations2. Samples of project evaluation score sheets3. Schedules for club duties such as Ganyard Building Watch, Burke Building Cleanup, and Pop Stand Shifts4. Special forms for cats, and ferrets5. Other fair event information

Evaluation Schedule: The Evaluation Schedule is developed using the number of 4-H members enrolled in a given 4-H project. It is difficult for us to predict what percentage of 4-H members will participate in county evaluations. Please exercise some patience and flexibility when waiting for your judging time. Not everyone can go first and not everyone can be judged at the same time. Our goal is that everyone has a positive and equitable evaluation experience.

Please understand that it is not our intention to make you wait long periods to see the judge. Trying to predict who will show up for evaluations makes it very difficult to know how long you will wait. Each project can only be evaluated by one judge so that the evaluation is fair. If a judge must evaluate 30 kids’ projects, it takes a lot of time. We want every child to have a fair amount of time to share his/her experiences.

There are many, many youth who have spent a lot of time and effort working on their projects. We must give them all equal time with the judge so that they can experience what it is to complete a project and feel the accomplishment of sharing their learning experiences in an interview – that’s a great life experience! Note that the awards are not announced until all members have been evaluated for that day’s event which often means the first kids through will have to wait several hours for awards. Enjoy the fair!

Evaluation Check-In: Exhibitors should arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled project evaluation judging time to complete check-in procedures at the Junior Fair Activities Tent.

Criteria for Judging: The judging/evaluation process will include:

A. An interview with a judge(s);B. Exhibition of a project item(s) and/or educational display;C. A completed project bookD. Participation in a skills component (for livestock projects)E. All score sheets and blue/red/white ribbons for non-livestock projects will be distributed after seeing the judge.

Required Exhibit Display: After project judging, all exhibitors are required to place their project exhibit or something to represent their project in their club booth or the countywide 4-H booth located in the Ganyard Building.

Awards: Recognition awards of blue, red and white ribbons will be given at the discretion of the judge. These will be presented at the end of the interview. State Fair Selection and Alternates or Best of Class, Best of Show and Honorable Mention, where appropriate, will be selected by the judges after all evaluations have been done for a given class. Only members with a completed project book and blue ribbon will be eligible for the above mentioned awards.

Awards Ceremony: All state fair, alternate, Best of Class, and Honorable Mentions Awards will be presented at the conclusion of the judging event on the stage in the Junior Fair Activities Tent.

“The schedule says I was supposed to check in an hour ago! Why am I still waiting to be evaluated?

“My project was evaluated three hours ago! Why haven’t they announced awards yet?
