State 4-H Fashion Board
The State 4-H Fashion Board is a group of outstanding 4-H teens from across the state interested in clothing and textiles. Counties can nominate one 4-H clothing member for each year’s State Fashion Board. Approximately 20 teens are selected for a one-year term. Selections are conducted during the Ohio State Fair Fashion Revue and application materials are included in the State Fair Handbook. The State 4-H Fashion Board’s purpose is to assist in conducting the State Fair 4-H Fashion Revue, 4-H clothing workshop sessions and promote Ohio 4-H clothing projects and programs.
The State 4-H Fashion Board meets face-to-face four to five times during the year. A fall orientation meeting is held to review the roles and responsibilities of State Fashion Board members, and develop plans for educational programs throughout the upcoming year. A winter meeting is held to recognize retiring members, evaluate the prior Ohio State 4-H Fashion Revue, and finalize plans for educational programs the group may decide to conduct for the year. Board members present at the Ohio 4-H Conference in March. A summer meeting is held to prepare for the Ohio State Fair 4-H Fashion Revue.
