SECTION 327ANTIQUES AND COLLECTABLES/LEISURE EDUCATION

The purpose of this project area is for members to learn about and document personal, 4-H, or subject related history using appropriate conservation, preservation and/or restoration methods. Think of this project like our own “Antique Road Show” 4-H project area.

Each exhibit will require research and reporting to authenticate the item being exhibited and to justify the method chosen to preserve/display the item.

4-H Curriculum has been developed to introduce and educate 4-H members and volunteers in the preservation and conservation of artifacts. The criteria/standards used to evaluate the will refl ect the member’s mastery of conservation and/or preservation techniques and their ability to document memorabilia/history. This is accomplished with the use of the Authentication Card (4H-HLTH-411).

The Authentication Card must be legible and securely attached to the front of ALL exhibits. Exhibits will be disqualifi ed if they do not have a card.

The county and state fair will do their best to insure items are respectfully handled, but they do not assume responsibility for any item damaged or lost while on exhibit. Please consider this when entering your “collectables.”

No loose collections/sets will be accepted. A collection must be SECURELY attached/contained to make one entry.

The following behavioral expectations have been established for persons serving in Educator and volunteer roles within Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service programs.

1. Work cooperatively with youth, family, volunteers, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service faculty and staff , and others in a courteous, respectful manner demonstrating behaviors appropriate for a positive role model for youth.
