Rules & Regulations

4-H GENERAL RULES

All entries are limited to 4-H boys and girls who are enrolled in 4-H projects in

Ellsworth County. 4-H members must be at least seven (7) years of age and not

older than eighteen (18) as of January 1st of the current year.

4-H members must have been enrolled in a 4-H club project in which they

exhibit by May 1, 2016. Exhibits must be the result of 4-H club projects since

the last County Fair.

Any items not listed will be left to the discretion of the Fair Board. Premiums

may be withheld on items not listed.

The Ellsworth County Extension Council, the 4-H Council, and the Fair

Management Board will not be responsible for accidents. All possible care will

be taken of exhibits, but the Council will in no way be responsible for any

damage or loss sustained.

CODE OF ETHICS: Believing it is in the best interest of all junior

exhibitors to maintain a reputation of integrity and to present a wholesome

image, The Ellsworth County Fair Association sets for the following

regulation: 4-H members are expected to conduct themselves according to

the highest standards of their organization. All participants are expected to

act in a professional manner showing respect to judges, other exhibitors,

staff and the public. Inappropriate conduct (drinking, stealing, vandalism

and indiscreet behavior) WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Any violation of

this rule will be grounds for disqualifying the exhibitor and/or livestock

involved and any premium money earned will be forfeited.

ALL reference to age means as of January 1st of the current year.

Maximum age for exhibitors is eighteen (18) years old on January 1st.

Junior Division (unless otherwise stated): 4-H members 7, 8 and 9 years old on January 1st

Intermediate Division (unless otherwise stated): 4-H members 10, 11, 12 and 13 years old on January 1st

Senior Division (unless otherwise stated): 4-H members 14 years old or older on January 1st. Past champions are eligible.

online via Ellsworth County Fair by July 10th. Any entry turned in late will be a

$10.00 fee per entry AND the fee must be paid at the entry time. Exception to the

https://fairentry.com/Fair/SignIn/1251


Rules & Regulations

Late Fee Penalty is if the 4-H member changes classes within a certain division

for which they were already entered.

The Sale Committee or Division Committee must be informed by 10:00 p.m.,

Wednesday, July 26, 2017, if you intend to sell an item in the auction. All

animals to be sold must meet minimum final weight requirements. Completion

of BQA/LQA/PQA must be on file by the 4-H member selling the animal.

Entry cards may be picked up at the Ellsworth Armory on Monday, 12:00 p.m.

to 2:00 p.m. and again on Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Entry cards must be attached to all exhibits in the Ellsworth Armory. There will

not be any entry cards for livestock, horse, dog, poultry, rabbits and pet exhibits.

Exhibitor should not make comments on the exhibit card about their project.

Projects will be judged using the Danish System which is a method of

evaluation where a 4-H exhibit or process is evaluated against a set of standards,

and recognition is awarded on the degree to which the standard has been met by

each 4-H member. The standards of excellence are often printed on a judge’s

scorecard, and allows for the 4-H exhibit to be judged on one’s own merit, and

not in comparison with others in the class.

The following ribbons apply:

WHITE: Fair, much improvement needed. Fails to meet minimum standards.

RED: Good, some improvements needed. Meets minimum standards.

BLUE: Excellent, minor improvements needed. Exceeds minimum standards.

PURPLE: Superior, outstanding on all standards.

Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons will be awarded to each project as

long as all qualifications are met and the judge feels the quality to receive such a

ribbon is exhibited. For breeding livestock, breed Champions will be designated.

Only champions or class winners are eligible for Overall Grand Champion. If

the division only has one entry or one champion the judge will determine if the

exhibit is worth Overall Grand Champion. After the selection of the Overall

Grand Champion, the Reserve Champion or 2nd place winner in that division or

class will compete for Overall Reserve Champion with the exception of the

Horse Project (see specific rules for Horse Showmanship Grand and

Reserve Champion selection). No red ribbons will be considered for Overall

Grand Champion. All purple winners are eligible for State Fair if members

and exhibits meet the State Fair guidelines.


Rules & Regulations

Only exhibits designated by the judge are eligible for the State Fair except all

Blue ribbon livestock which are eligible with Extension Agent approval. 4-H

members must meet age requirements to exhibit at State Fair.

Each exhibitor is responsible for the care and appearance of their animals and

must furnish their own feed and equipment.

Classes marked with an asterisk (*) are NOT eligible for Kansas State Fair

Competition. Cloverbuds have their own Division - See page 61.

Protests or grievances regarding fair operations or qualifications of eligibility of

any competing person, animal, or object submitted for competition and showing

in any class or event must be submitted in writing, signed, and accompanied by

a $50 deposit. The deposit is forfeited if the protest is overruled. The hearing

committee will consist of Fair Association Executive Board and relevant

Division superintendents. When the protest is either allowed or denied, the

course of action shall be entered in writing and filed with the Association

Secretary. The Ellsworth County Fair Association may waive above rules if, in

their opinion, it is warranted.

One ribbon placing will be docked if all project requirements are not met.

Parents are encouraged to participate in the Conference Judging with the 4-H

member. However, the parents are NOT to converse with the judge until the

judging of their child’s project is complete.

The 4-H Fair Division Assignments have been added to their respective

categories. Following are the Fair Division Assignments that do not have a

specific category. All 4-H members are required to help with assignments.

Youth Agriculture Scavenger Hunt

The Youth Agriculture Scavenger Hunt is a new event at the fair and is open to all youth, not only those enrolled in 4-H.

The scavenger hunt provides youth an opportunity to learn about agriculture as they enjoy the sights and sounds of the exhibits.

Youth can pick up an activity sheet at the Farm Bureau table at the Parade of Champions on Thursday evening. The activity sheet contains agricultural questions. The youth can 'hunt' for posters around the fair exhibits. These posters contain the information necessary to complete the activity sheet.

The completed activity sheet can be returned to the Farm Bureau table. Youth will receive a prize for their efforts.

The goal of the project is to help youth gain a better understanding of agriculture and its importance to Kansas.

For more information, contact: Susan Miller, County Coordinator Ellsworth County Farm Bureau Association 785-531-2966 or 785-472-3082 [email protected]
