4-H FAIR FOOD STAND SCHEDULE:
Please check with your Club Leader to see when your 4-H Club is assigned to work at the SEMO Fair 4-H Food Stand.This is the "Biggie" County-wide fund raiser for the year. The funds from the Fair Stand help support a large portion of the 4-H Council Budget that provides the money for many county-wide activities such as Recognition Banquet, Achievement Day, 4-H Camp, etc. Please represent and support your club by working your assigned shift. It is always easier if you have "too much help" rather than only a few doing the work. Please also carefully read the "rules" concerning the appropriate behaviors for volunteers serving food!! If you have any questions concerning the Food Stand Schedule please contact Donna Taake at 243-3581.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
If you cannot work the shift assigned for your 4-H club PLEASE CALL DONNA TAAKE AT 243-3581 to sign up for a different work shift. WE ESPECIALLY NEED HELP FOR THE DAY SHIFTS ON TUES., WED., AND THURS. (10:00-5:00) HELP!!

Please pick up tags for "SEMO Fair". DO NOT use left over tags from the 4-H County Fair as those tags are a different number sequence and will mess up the computer program when the Fair data is entered. They have made a limited number of Fair Premium Books this year. We did not receive very many but we will be glad to copy any of the entry forms or information from the Premium Book. You can also go to www.semofair.com and print off any of the forms directly from their website.BE SURE ALL YOUR ENTRY TAGS HAVE YOUR 4-H (11 DIGIT) COMPUTER NUMBER!! If you are not sure of your 4-H member number call the office at 243-3581 and we will be glad to look up your number for you!
Please note the attached instruction sheet on how to complete the Fair Exhibit Entry Tag
Also, please note the attached "SEMO District Fair 4-H Exhibit Slip 4-H Exhibit Hall". EACH 4-H MEMBER SHOULD LIST ALL THEIR ENTRIES ON THIS FORM AND HAND IN WITH THEIR ENTRIES. We use this form to help us keep track of entries and "What belongs to who". If you need more forms, please Xerox as many copies as needed. ONE FORM PER MEMBER!
CLOVER KID ENTRIES Remember that Clover Kids cannot enter or show animals at SEMO Fair. Clover Kids may enter 3 project exhibits in the Clover Kids Classes and will be given green participation ribbons.
The 4-H SECTION OF THE SEMO FAIR BOOK IS PAGES 27-34. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY as REGULATIONS CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR TO KEEP UP-TO-DATE WITH THE PROJECT LITERATURE (see the attached pages with this newsletter).
All posters are 14x22 inches which is one-half of a poster board size!! Posters will be accepted in all PROJECTS.
You can only enter 3 items per project.
Please note that some projects require "signature of Project Leader" (i.e. welding, small engines) so please read the Fair Book requirements in advance of completing your entry tags.
ENTRY TAG INFO!!
Many exhibits require additional information on the back of the entry tag. There are 2 reasons for this requirement. 1) The more the information given about the project, the easier it is for the judges to judge. 2) This is SEMO Fairs version of "Conference Judging". Conference Judging is a system used across the state in most 4-H County Fairs where the 4-H member actually meets with the Judge and is asked questions so that Judge can ascertain how much knowledge the 4-Her actually has about his/her project. Our entry numbers are much too large for judges to actually talk to each 4-Her so that is why the info is required on the back of the tags.SEMO FAIR HORSE SHOW
1. You must bring copy of Horse Enrollment Form 2. No Pre-registration needs to be mailed but completed Registration Forms must be brought to the Livestock Gate as your GATE ENTRY PASS. Use 4-H Livestock Entry Form in SEMO Fair Premium Guide Book.●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

A BIG 4-H THANK YOU FOR THE PROSPECT SHOW.
I would like to say "THANK YOU" to the boys and girls and their parents for staying and helping clean the fair grounds, the show barn and the 4-H building. I know you all probably got tired of me asking but without you all helping it would have been left upon several of the parents doing it. This is what 4-H & FFA is, working together. We want to make sure that this event/show keeps going. A Reminder: "Please send thank you cards to the sponsor that was on your prizes." Also, I would like to give a special thank you to the ones that helped set up, helped with the meal and went out and got the donations.
Thank You!! Carol Haley
