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

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!
