Please take the time to read the General Rules, Rules for Outdoor Exhibitors, Indoor Exhibitors and Livestock Sale Information! CLOVERS MAY NOT SHOW ANY ANIMALS. Principles of 4-H = Responsibility + Pride + Integrity 4-H club members are more important than the project. Project work is one of the best devices for developing young people. To Learn by Doing is fundamental in any sound educational program and is characteristic of the 4-H program. 4-H ers should be their own best exhibit. This means in manners, attitudes and courtesy, as well as appropriate dress and physical appearance. Competition is a part of life and should be recognized in 4-H as a human trait, but competition requires careful plan ning and safeguards when used as an educational device. No 4-H award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a 4-H member or leader. A blue ribbon 4-H er with a red ribbon exhibit is more desirable than a red ribbon 4-H er with a blue ribbon exhibit. Our job is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think. 7
