2022 Livestock Interview Judging and Skillathon

We have one more day for livestock interview judging and skillathon on Tuesday, July 12 from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Ramser 4-H Activity Center.   Please remember members who plan on exhibiting animal projects at the fair need to complete this final step.  If this step in not completed then they will not be able to exhibit at the fair this year.   Lots of information is being given out to members and their families.  All members will get a packet with the following information, their back numbers(s), and a wrist band.  We will also have other information for the sale, staying overnight, filling out DUNF, UPI, and Ractopamine Affidavits.

We look forward to seeing a lot of you on Tuesday.

Current 4-H & Junior Fair Updates (06/06/2020)

Please see a few updates below that pertain to 4-H and Junior Fair:

Adding Animals to 4HOnline and FairEntry

We know that some of you and your 4-H members have been experiencing difficulties with adding animals to the 4HOnline profiles today.  Because there was an issue (which is now resolved) and we do not want to cause unnecessary stress to anyone during already stressful times, we are going to allow an extension with getting animals input into 4HOnline through Monday at 12 Noon.  We will then do a roll over in the system Monday afternoon to FairEntry.  On Tuesday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), we are holding an in-person help session for FairEntry and work out any kinks we may see and open it to everyone on Wednesday morning.  We are wanting to make this as seamless as possible and with all of the bumps in the road it unfortunately has delayed us again slightly.

 

Miscellaneous/Food & Nutrition/Rocket/Clothing Judging

Jana is still moving forward with a face to face judging on Wednesday, July 15 for these projects.  This year there will be no displays in the booth building.  But as long as members have their project judged on July 15 they will receive a premium by mail after the fair.  Your members can also take a home project and take the project again next year without any penalty.

 

Livestock Interview Judging

This will take place on Monday, July 13 and Monday, July 20 from 1 to 6 p.m.

  • This is mandatory for all market projects that would like to exhibit at the fair this year.
  • Animal breeding projects and horse projects can complete this step (details to follow soon) and will also receive a premium by mail after the fair.

Thank you for your continued support and patience,

Andrea, Jana, and Samantha
