Booth Building Reminder!

Booth Building Sign-ups

The Booth building is the place to showcase non-livestock, or Still projects. It’s an important part of the duties for 4-H clubs to make sure projects on display are cared for, promote 4-H, and maintain the building. As an expectation to remain a club in good standing, there are sign-ups this year to booth patrol.

While we are still working on some details, the overall duties of booth patrol include:

  • Maintaining tidiness in the building
    • Sweeping, trash pick up
    • Observe Cloverbud activities (if present) in the building
  • Guarding project displays and booths
  • Assisting patrons with voting for booth awards
  • Representing a positive image of 4-H
  • Answering questions, engaging fairgoers
  • Assisting in care of the Show Share Closet (lock password)
  • Keeping count of the number of visitors to the building

Also, 4-H clubs interested in having a booth at the fair: please email Lindsey (vangundy.44@osu.edu) your intent to have a booth. If enough interest is generated, we may be to construct some booths on July 16. Otherwise, clubs having a booth may set up their booths on July 17 between 3:00-8:00pm. Clubs with booths are permitted to check in projects during set-up day, July 17. Based on JFB, the theme will be Red, White, and MOO!

Booths may be constructed around your club’s interpretation of the theme title. Electric is not available for displays/decorations. Permanent alternation of the booth area is not permitted. Any staples used are the responsibility of the club to remove!! Voting will occur Saturday-Tuesday for People’s Choice Award. Banners will be given to People’s Choice top two club booths.

Booth Building 2023- Updated

All clubs are able to sign up for a booth space this year! We encourage all clubs to reserve a space! This is how members will display their exhibits for still projects.  Let’s make our booth building an exciting place to visit! We need full booths, interesting exhibits and displays, and most important, welcoming 4-H members on patrol.

UPDATE: Clubs will not be needed for Sunday, July 16. Booth set-up night is Wednesday, July 19 from 3:00-8:00pm. During the construction time on July 19th, clubs wanting their own booths may allow members may check in projects. They must check in projects with Lindsey during that time. Clubs with booths are responsible for filling 4 hours of “booth patrol” during the week of fair. That sign-up is also below.

In order to receive the premium for a still project, it must be displayed in the booth building the entire week of fair. Still projects may be checked in Friday July 21 from 4:00-8:00pm or Saturday July 22 from 8:00am-12:00pm. No late arrivals will be accepted. **Remember: a project book is NOT an exhibit.** Cloverbuds will also have a specific booth to display any projects during the week.

Booth Patrol & Pop Stand Schedules

Booth Patrol – 2018 Booth Patrol Schedule-1rhiivc

All clubs that are constructing a booth this year have been assigned or have chosen their preferable booth patrol time.  Clubs that have a significant amount of projects that are being displayed in the miscellaneous booth have also been assigned a time or volunteered their services.  If your club cannot fulfill the time that is assigned it is up to you to find a club to switch with you.

Pop Stand – 2018 Pop Stand Schedule-2j7t8zp

Thank you to all of the clubs that have signed up to help the Grange with their pop stand and earn a little money for your club treasury.  The shifts are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 5 p.m. to close (at least 10 p.m. but maybe until 11 p.m.).  It all depends on the main events at the grandstand that evening.

4-H Club Booth Exhibits

4-H Booth exhibits are a great way to show the public the variety of projects are available through 4-H.  The number of club booths has decreased in recent years – partly due to an increase in animal projects.  Consideration has been given to project – based displays as evidenced in the miscellaneous booth area in the past two years. Your feedback would be appreciated in searching for improvements in still exhibits at the fair. Contact Larry prior to January with your ideas, 740-397-0401 Ext. 1307.
