The exhibitor should respond briefly to the following questions about the exhibit:
•
What did you plan to learn or do? (What was your exhibit goal(s)?)
•
What steps did you take to learn or do this?
•
What were the most important things you learned?
Complete information on what the 4-H’er needs to do to prepare their exhibits for fair is on
the following website: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/projects and select Exhibit Tip
Sheets. Exhibits in Home Improvement, Visual Arts, Clothing and Sewing will need to
include design elements and art principles. Photography exhibits will need a photo label.
4-H members who do not have internet access can get the information from their 4-H leader
or the Woodbury County Extension office. Design Elements and Art Principles: 4-H
members will need at least 3 design elements and/or art principles that the 4-H’er must
include in their write-up/goals for visual arts, home improvement, and clothing and
sewing/needle arts.

The 4-H’er’s goal and applicable exhibit standards will form the basis of the

4-H clubs are strongly encouraged to have Food & Nutrition, Textiles & Clothing,

before fair.
