Project Judging Workshop

by

The Licking County 4-H Food and Fashion Board will be hosting a Project Judging Workshop at the Extension Office on Saturday, June 9th from 10:00-11:00 a.m. This is a great opportunity for new members to get an idea what project judging will be like as well as have their questions answered. Members will have project examples available for members to view and will be doing modeling practice for those taking clothing projects. While a large portion of the program will focus on food and clothing judging, there will also be a portion dedicated to special interest projects.

CHANGES IN 2018 OHIO STATE FAIR JUNIOR FAIR DOG SHOW FOR AKC TRICK DOG AND AKC CANINE GOOD CITIZEN RULEBOOK! As of June 1, 2018 AKC has changed the requirements to receive an ADVANCED TRICK DOG TITLE from a total of 5 tricks to performing a total of 10 tricks.

Also, an updated Trick Dog Evaluator Guide will be posted once AKC has theirs updated and posted. Advanced Trick Dog is the only change in this rule book. Please be aware of this change if entering the Advanced Trick Dog class. Dogs must have their Novice and Intermediate Trick Dog titles before entering the Advanced Trick Dog class.

The rule book and Tricks Checklist has been updated and reposted at www.go.osu.edu/dog on the Resources page and the State Fair page.
