opportunity to exhibit a product that has resulted from an in-depth yearlong study in an area of interest to them. 4-H’ers should participate in the fair with pride. They have worked hard to get there. They enter the fair to receive feedback regarding the work they have done and to gather ideas for what they can do differently or expand upon in their project areas in future years. Judging - Conference judging is the main judging format used. During conference judging, judges visit with 4-H’ers about the product being displayed and the project completed to determine whether or not learning has taken place. Conference judging is most prevalent in the General Project and Clothing Shows but is also an important tool for animal judges during showmanship classes. 4-H’ers participating in the fair will receive a ribbon for each entry. Judges will assign ribbons based on the amount of learning they believe has taken place, the quality of the product displayed, and the adherence of the product to the specific class description. The number one reason that 4-H’ers are marked down during judging is because they fail to follow the rules and meet class guidelines. Ribbons assigned will be blue, red, or white, and should not be confused with letter grades. Blue ratings will be assigned when the exhibit meets class guidelines, the product being shown is of high quality, and the 4-H’er proves that he/she has learned much in the process of completing the project. White ribbons are assigned when products clearly do not meet class guidelines, products are of poor quality, and 4-H’ers appear to have learned little in completing the project. Red ribbons are given for projects falling in between the two extremes. There is no limit on the number of ribbons of any color that can be given. Other ribbons/awards will be given to 4-H’ers at the discretion of the judges and departmental committees. Each year our county selects a number of 4-H General Project exhibits to represent Ogle County at the Illinois State Fair. These classes are noted at the beginning of each division with the number of eligible entries. Should any of the individuals selected for state competition in a particular division decline that opportunity, alternates
