1 Yankton County 4-H News May 2015 For the 2015 SD State Fair, there will be an August 1st registration deadline for all entries (livestock, Youth-in-Action, and static). Refer to pg. 8 for participation information State Fair Book We will be offering help days to learn how to register in Fair Entry on the following dates: June 23rd or 29th & July 14th or 16th from 5-7 pm (need to only attend once, please call & sign up for the date you would prefer) Any other days by appointment from 9am -5pm After July 24th unfortunately we will not be able to assist you in registering for state fair. We recommend you register before Friday, July 24. What does this mean? All families must register their 4-H members in Fair Entry for up to 10 livestock entries, 2 static exhibits and any Youth-in-Action events before the August 1st deadline regardless of ribbon placing. All 4-H members are required to exhibit their intended State Fair entry at a local Achievement Days or County Fair as a requirement for entry. Counties will approve all entries once the county contest is complete. All entry fees must be postmarked by August 1st to the State 4-H Office. Individual payments are acceptable. Adjustments to your entries can be made through August 21st at double the entry fee by going through your county office. No adjustments will be accepted after August 21st. Since there is no fee for static, you can make changes to your projects up until August 21st. Due to the new building not being ready for State Fair, the same display exhibit plan from 2014 will be implemented again this year. All entry fees are non-refundable. Why is this being implemented? Experiential learning drives exhibit and project learning. By implementing this qualification change, members continue to improve with their experiences. The 4-H motto is To Make the Best Better. All members hold an equal opportunity to come and compete amongst their peers. Logistics will provide a better youth experience. From stalling assignments to scheduling, other pertinent information will be distributed to exhibitors in a timely manner. For example, Youth-in-Action schedules will be out for first review August 14th with adjustments through August 21st and a final schedule available August 28th. Other Important changes to note in this Fair book: Please refer to the State Fair schedule. There are some changes in check-in/weigh-in times and locations of some events. This year, there will be one Livestock Skill-a-thon that will include all livestock species. See pg. 19 for more information. Look for class clarifications on breeding sheep and rabbits. Educational displays (static); no lot numbers listed. The lots are indicated with an indent symbol. There are no changes to the lots or project areas for 2015.
