Do you know about Pet Care? Dept. 12

Pet Care is open to all 4-H and Cloverbud members. Bring your pet to the 4-H building on Wednesday, July 15th at 7pm and talk to an evaluator about it. Look on page 27 of the Exhibitors Handbook for more information. Entries close on June 26th.

Tips of the week:

Read the rules for each dept. and section in the 4-H Exhibitors Handbook. For example:

Photography- each photo must be mounted on sturdy backgrounds (no construction paper, fun foam, etc.) Do not frame under glass or plastic. Adjacent to each photo must be a title or caption. Mountings and captions will be included in the judging process.

Art Objects- paintings, drawings, graphics/ prints and sculpture, any style must be appropriately displayed, stretched, matted or framed and READY TO HANG. Art work is to be signed on the front.

Be sure to pick up the 2009 4-H Exhibitors Handbook, forms and entry tags from the 4-H Office. It has a ship on the cover commemorating Henry Hudson and the Half Moon. (Do not confuse it with the Saratoga County Fair Book, which has a plain light green cover. It is for the open class.)

Also, for those of you new to the county fair, we will offer a class, Fair 101, on Tuesday, June 16th, beginning at 7pm. It will help you through the process.

All animals, Pet Care, Club Exhibits, Group Action Booth, and Young Farmers Olympics entry forms are due in the 4-H office by Friday, June 26th.
