Project Scorecards

Want to learn about what the judge will look for while conference judging your exhibit at the county fair. Look no further than the 4-H Exhibit Area Downloads at this link: https://www.kansas4-h.org/events-activities/fairs/kansas-state-fair/index.html. You will also find the Kansas State Fair Book at the top of the page. Those in the STEM projects will want to utilize the Kansas State Fair Book and the scorecards to make sure projects are meeting requirements.

Kansas State Fair - September 9 - 18

If you have an exhibit going to the State Fair, you will need to have your entry at your local Extension office NO LATER than 4:30pm on Tuesday, September 6th.  If you are planning on taking your exhibit to Hutchinson yourself, you'll need to pick up your entry card to attach to your entry.

Please visit this link to make sure you have all of the scoresheets/forms and information you will need to attach to your exhibit: https://www.kansas4-h.org/events-activities/fairs/kansas-state-fair/index.html The fair book will have a description, but below that are each project area and the requirements to prepare it for the KSF. Please read it carefully! 

Good luck to ALL Southwind youth at the fair!

Announcements:

  • IMPORTANT POULTRY INFORMATION

    Kansas Department of Agriculture has changed the requirements on having poultry tested for County Fairs. For birds exhibited at the county fair in the Southwind Extension District that originate from Kansas do not need to be tested before the fair until 2027. Birds will then be tested every 5 years. Now, if your bird comes from out of state you will be required to test within 90 days of the fair.
