Dear 4-H Family and Friends, please read the following press release from the Hardin County Fair Board: 2020 Hardin County Fair To Be A Youth Exhibitor Fair The Hardin County Fair, in partnership with Iowa State Univer-sity Extension of Hardin County, is planning for a 2020 “Youth Exhibitor Fair” only. They are currently working together to finalize a modified fair experience which will provide opportu-nities for 4-H and FFA members to showcase their learning, and to receive evaluation and recognition. All livestock will be shown in an abbreviated format on a daily basis. Details are forthcoming. Due to ongoing social distancing guidelines and precautions to help slow and reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the commu-nity, the Hardin County Fair Board made the difficult decision to postpone public grandstand entertainment and public ac-tivities for the 2020 Hardin County Fair. The 2020 event held July 8-12 will not be open to the public, but only to 4-H and FFA members, their immediate families, and approved 4-H and fair volunteers and committee members. Hardin County Fair Association has worked with ISU Extension of Hardin County, Hardin County Emergency Management, the Hardin County Board of Supervisors, and other stakehold-ers. They have determined this was the best decision due to the uncertainty of the public health situation in July. “The safety and health of exhibitors, volunteers, staff, visitors, community partners, and vendors is our number one

concern,” said Dale Jass, Hardin County Fair Board president. Hardin County 4-H is working on the details of this modified Youth Exhibitor Fair for 2020. As these changes and logistics are finalized, information will be sent directly to families and volunteers. Currently, there are plans only for the exhibition of non-livestock/static exhibits, livestock projects, and a queen coronation as safety guidelines allow in July. Bobbi Finarty, Hardin County Extension Director, said, “We are excited to work with the Fair Board, the kids, and volun-teers to provide this opportunity. We are planning to make the static judging and livestock shows as safe as possible and will have more details soon.” In this unprecedented situation, the Fair Board is working with its volunteers and extension staff, and knows families will still be working for the best fair we can have given the circumstances. 4-H and FFA families are the future of the Har-din County Fair. The Hardin County Fair will be in contact with all fair vendors and sponsors in coming weeks with more information. Please follow the Hardin County Fair on Facebook and at www.hardincountyfair.net. ******* More details are included in this newsletter and will be send to you as additional plans become finalized. At this time, we ask that you keep an eye on your email (your “family” email in 4HOnline) as this will be a key method of communication mov-ing forward.

2020 HARDIN COUNTY FAIR INFORMATION

Together with the Hardin County Agricultural Society and our volunteers, we are working together to finalize a modified fair experi-ence which will provide opportunities for 4-H and FFA members to showcase their learning, and to receive evaluation and recogni-tion. Thank you for being patient as we plan a safe and fun experience for our youth. To be able to provide this experience for you, we need your cooperation to ensure that guidelines set by the Iowa Department of Public Health, Iowa State University Extension and Iowa 4-H are followed. Please note:

It is RECOMMENDED that volunteers, participants, and families use face coverings and honor social distancing during all events.

Only the participating 4-H and FFA members, essential/immediate family member(s), approved 4-H staff and volunteers will

be allowed. Youth shows will NOT be open to the public. If you or your family member(s) are feeling ill or have a fever, do not attend.

Your safety is important to us! Your extension staff and fair board will be cleaning high touch areas frequently, practicing physical distancing, and providing a safe and fun fair experience! If you have any questions or concerns on safety please contact the exten-sion office.

STATIC (NON-LIVESTOCK) PROJECTS: *Entries are due June 29th at https://hardin.fairentry.com/ For the safety of our judges and youth we will be doing a “State Fair style” judging day for all static projects. 4-H and Clover Kids members will not be present with their project when the judging occurs. The following outlines how this will look.

MONDAY, JULY 6TH 4-H and Clover Kids Projects will be dropped off on the fair grounds at your club’s scheduled time. We will create a drive through line for the drop off process. Everyone will remain in their vehicle until it is your turn to get out. Families will enter the youth building one at a time, attach entry cards, and put exhibits at the designated station. Make sure to have goal sheets/write-ups attached If you have multiple pieces for ONE project please make sure to label with your name/attach together to help prevent

getting misplaced Projects will be picked up on Saturday following the same process as drop off. Project results will be shared online later in the week. State Fair considered and selected exhibits will still be chosen, regardless if a State Fair occurs or not, as this is an achieve-

ment. Photos will be shared online. Junior Excellence and Challenge Class Champions will still be awarded and photos will be shared online. The exhibit building will be closed to the public. We will not have a Garden Tour this year. We are encouraging 4-Hers to complete the Vegetable Garden Project Worksheet

(found on our website), and include that in a write-up/report about their garden. This can be exhibited as class 10230 during static judging.

We will not have club booth displays or a contest this year. We will not have a club bucket of flowers contest this year, but individual 4-Hers may still enter one in the challenge class. We will be talking to local business about displaying fair projects in their lobbies (when they are open to the public). Stay

tuned for more information. Food and Nutrition – It is possible that prepared and preserved food items will be judged on appearance and goal sheet/

write-up. More information to come. We ask that Clover Kids pre-enter exhibits in hardin.fairentry.com so that we may pre-print tags for you to save time. A class

in the “Static” department has been added just for Clover Kids, Class 1600

YQCA: 2020 INFORMATION

Important Information for ALL Livestock Exhibitors

YQCA (Youth for the Quality Care of Animals) certification is required for all market, dairy, and egg producing animal exhibitors wishing to show at the Hardin County or Iowa State Fairs. This includes beef cattle, bottle calves, dairy goats, dairy cattle, sheep, meat goats, pigs, rabbits, and poultry. New this year in fairentry.com, when an exhibitor enters an animal for fair in a division that requires YQCA Certification, the exhib-itor will be prompted to enter the certification number on the check-out screen. The exhibitor will not be able to submit entries unless YQCA is already completed. If you use the same 4HOnline account for YQCA and FairEntry, the certification number will auto-populate. FFA members will need to enter the correct number on their YQCA certificate. To complete YQCA, go to yqca.org, and sign in with your 4HOnline account information.

Beginning June 1st, Iowa 4-H is allowing phased re-opening of face-to-face programming, which includes 4-H club meetings. Face to face programming should be limited to 50% of the capacity of the facility AND it is EXPECTED that the facility or location must be able to accommodate safe practices such as social distancing, etc. It is also important to consider slowly moving towards face to face gatherings. We have sent leaders guidelines to follow to provide a safe environment for the 4-Hers. As 4-H families, here are some guideline we would like you to consider as you attend meetings:

All participants are asked to wash hands with soap and warm water for a minimum of 20 seconds or with a hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol content upon arrival, and after activities are completed.

Food preparation as an activity or to serve should be limited to pre-packaged or catered food. It is EXPECTED that face coverings and social distancing practices will be used. Hand sanitizer, with a minimum of 60% alcohol and/or disinfectant wipes for participants to use upon arrival and throughout

the club meeting and/or activities should be provided Do not plan to share supplies (ex. A pair of scissors for each member) All members should bring and use their own writing utensil. Anyone attending, who has been sick or around someone who has been sick, please stay home. Only club members and essential guardians should attend the meetings. Non-4-H youth should not attend. We request postponing club tours and field trips/events until later in the summer.

HORSE PROJECT GROUP MEETINGS: Horse Project Leaders Patty Hammer (641-849-0593) and Martha Steding (641-373-2434) are looking forward to finally beginning classes in June.

This helps us know who to get important horse information to, and covers the insur-ance liability issues. Participants not complying will be sent home until they are enrolled. Non 4-H members and siblings too young for 4-H should not attend 4-H Horse Project meetings due to not being covered under our insurance policy. Because we know that not all 4-Hers may feel comfortable attending, we are waiving the requirement to attend horse project group meetings to show at the fair this year. THINGS REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE ARENA CLASS: boots with heels, jeans, helmets, good fitting flat nylon halter & lead, the reg-ular bridle you ride in including: ring snaffle, SPLIT reins, & fly spray! You and your horse need to be ready to work by 6:00 p.m. All horses should be lunged and saddled by 6:00 pm. They also need a helmet and boots with heels for safe riding.

RESUMING CLUB & PROJECT GROUP MEETINGS (CONTINUED)

Do I have to pre-enter exhibits for the fair? Yes! Your static exhibits must be pre-entered online. Enter your exhib-its at http://hardin.fairentry.com from June 2 to June 29 at 4:30 pm. We will print your entry tags and have them available for you to pick up at conference judging check-in. What do I bring to Conference Judging Day? 1.) Your exhibit(s) 2.) Goal sheets or written goals (see below) 3.) Description of “elements and principles of design” (see below) 4.) Entry fee - $3 for the first ten exhibits, 25¢ for each additional exhib-it What are “goal sheets”? “4-H exhibit goal sheets” (from June newsletter or www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h) should be completed for each project. The form may be retyped, and questions answered in an exhib-it write-up (see below), but these questions must be answered: 1.) What was your exhibit goal? 2.) How did you go about working toward your goal(s)? 3.) What were the most important things that you learned that you learned as you worked toward your goal? Goals should be complete and well written, and should correlate with the class they are in. All exhibit areas, except photography, should have a goal sheet. Photography exhibits should use the photography label and do not need a goal sheet.

What are “elements and principles of design” Specifically for visual arts, clothing, home improvement, and sewing & needle arts, elements of principles and design should be discussed. Design elements are line, shape, form, color, and texture. Art principles are balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, and unity. Information on elements and principles of design for visual art can be found at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/4h634.pdf What is an “exhibit write-up”? Some 4-Hers choose to do a “write-up” to share with the judge that tells about their goals and the story of their exhibit. Sometimes they include photos showing the processes they took to create the exhibit. The write up generally answers the three questions asked on the goal sheet, and elements and principals of design, if applicable. Often the write-up is presented in a binder or folder. Presenting the goals in this manner is not required. Remember, it is your exhibit...make it your own! Where can I get a fair book? At the Hardin County Extension Office, or http://www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h or http://www.hardin.fairentry.com. How do I know what class my exhibit goes in? The first question you should ask yourself is, “what is my goal for this exhibit?” For example, I would like to bring a pillow to the fair. Was the goal to learn how to sew? Then it would enter the Sewing and

STATIC JUDGING AND FAIRENTRY FAQS

4-H FAMILY NEWSLETTER June 2020 PAGE 8

Needle Arts class. Was the goal to coordinate a pillow with the rest of your bedroom décor? Then it would be Home Improvement. What if I can’t find a class for my exhibit? If you are not able to find a class for your exhibit in the fair book, it may be included under Self Determined, class 10560. Please see the fair book. How do I prepare my photo? Read the photography rules carefully in your fair book for specifics of what size it should be and how it should be matted. You will need a photography label form, found on our website by selecting “2019 Har-din County Fair” at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h. Attach the photography label with tape on the back of the matte. What about copyrights & Pinterest? Be aware of the rules for using copyrighted material. If copyright mate-rial is used it cannot be put on public display if permission has not been requested and received. Be sure that you properly cite any project ide-as that you got from Pinterest as well. More information and help sheets can be found on our webpage at www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h. Are my food exhibits acceptable? Did you know you can’t exhibit a pumpkin pie? What other types of food projects are unacceptable or acceptable? Please refer to our webpage, www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h and review “Foods for Iowa Fairs…” How do I prepare vegetables and flowers for exhibit? Did you know that you shouldn’t scrub the potatoes you are planning to exhibit at fair? Please take a moment to review all of the tips for exhibiting vegetables and flowers at fair. They can be found on our website by selecting “2020 Hardin County Fair” at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/hardin/4h. Look under the “Horticulture” heading.

Static Exhibits due June 29 at 4:30 PM I forgot my 4HOnline email and or password information, but need to do my entries online. How? You will need to know the email associated with your account.

may then create an additional entry, or entries, and submit again. What if I submitted my entries, but made a mistake? Let Extension Staff know, asap. If something isn’t right, we can send it back to you, to fix. It is almost entry deadline day and I am still not sure what I will be taking to Conference Judging If you *think* you will bring a project, go ahead and enter it!!
