17 County Fair, August 22-25, 2019 The Crawford County Fair is held annually in August. The Fair provides an opportunity for 4-Hers to display/exhibit the things they have worked on over the year. This is a major event where many people see what 4-Hers can do. The 4-H Fair exhibits are evaluated by state certified judges. The process is designed to extend the learning the member has done on their project. The judges are more than willing to spend time with members providing valuable feedback on how to improve their project. Judging Systems Used at the County Fair Danish Judging: Traditional system whereby all exhibits of the same class are presented simultaneously to the judge. The judge evaluates each project and is permitted to give a maximum of 25% blue, red, white and pink ribbons within each group in the class of projects. Exhibitors do not need to be present for this type of judging. Face-to-Face Judging or Conference (Used for Younger Youth Development - i.e. Cloverbuds) This form of judging allows for more flexibility on the part of the judge and the exhibitor. Exhibitors bring their projects to the judge at their convenience within the time allotted and talk to the judge about their project. The entire class does not need to be present at the same time. The judge then, based on all discussion, may award the ribbon and premium which he/she believes is appropriate without regard to percentages. Examples of questions that might be asked: What kinds of things did you do in your project this year? How did you make it...grow it...build it...paint it? Where did you learn how to? What was the hardest part for you to do? What did you like doing best? What are you going to do with your rocket...drawing...cookies? 17
