4-H Entries for Statewide Virtual Fair!

July 28, 2020

Enter the 4-H Virtual Fair by this Friday!

Calling all those in 4-H animal projects – there are multiple classes for each of you at the New Jersey 4-H Virtual Fair, but you only have a few more days to enter!

All information (and a link for entries) is available at the 4-H fair’s website.  The many categories for project entries are outlined in the exhibitor’s guide, also available at the same site.

While we hope you will enter the typical animal classes (including showmanship), there are also classes for you to showcase your knowledge and skills in areas such as breed identification, animal care, fitting, training, and several topics within animal and veterinary science.  For several classes, you don’t even need a project animal.

In addition to your main animal projects, consider entering some of our other classes, including animal costume contests, photography, foods, garden crops, music, arts, clothing/textiles, crafts, STEM (inventions, LEGO, robotics), and so much more!  For those with dogs, you don’t have to be in a dog club/project to show off your dog’s tricks or your homemade agility course.  There really is something for everyone!

Submitting entries is simple and free – most classes require just photos and/or a video.  For some, you are simply signing up for a time to showcase your project or abilities via Zoom in early August (but you still need to enter those classes by this Friday).

Projects and results will be available to view on the New Jersey 4-H Virtual Fair website in mid-August.  Ribbons will be mailed to participants at the conclusion of the virtual fair.

All entries are due this Friday, July 31.  We hope you choose to participate!

A Project of New Jersey 4-H Youth Development

New Jersey 4-H provides educational outreach programming for youth in grades K-13 (one year out of high school) through 4-H clubs, special interest programs, school enrichment, afterschool programs, and overnight camping.

Regardless of the subject matter – whether it be science, healthy living or citizenship, 4-H uses a learn-by-doing approach to help youth learn responsibility, community awareness and character development.

New Jersey 4-H Youth Development is a department of the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
