Summer Judging Information - 2024 Information

Clothing Projects and Food & Nutrition Projects have county fair awards selected at Summer Judging in July. These judging events are also used to select the participants to represent our county for Ohio State Fair 4-H competitions in these project areas. For clothing and nutrition projects, the summer judging events ARE the judging for Delaware County Fair awards. The summer judging events are also when state fair participants will be selected. Make-up judging is offered for those that cannot make summer judging. It is on September 7 and projects are judged for grade and premium only. Still exhibit projects also have the opportunity to participate in the Ohio State Fair.

State Fair rules are at http://www.ohio4h.org/families/ohio-state-fair/state-fair-non-livestock-4-h-guidebook.
