Class 41 - 4-H Banners

(Open To All 4-Her's)

4-H'ers will have the opportunity to display fabric banners at the Red River Valley Fair and State Fair. Banners should be pre-registered in the same way as the other exhibits. Ten banners will be selected at the State Fair as part of an exhibit to be used for future state and county events. Banners can be a good way to promote the 4-H program.

The following guidelines have been established:

1. Banners may be made by an individual or club.

2. Enter club banner under one exhibitor name - one premium.

3. Banners must present a message about 4-H (more than just a club name).

4. Banners incorporating copyrighted material, like cartoon character "Peanuts" will NOT be accepted. 

5. Banners should be 32" x 48".

6. Banners must be finished with a 36" dowel inserted and a rope attached for hanging. Banners should be weighted at bottom if necessary.

7. Identification is to be fastened on the back of the banner/lower left-hand corner. Identification must include county name, 4-H member and club. 

8. Banners should be neat, well-designed, well-arranged and easy to understand.

9. Place designs vertically on one or both sides.

10. Bring banners on Interview Judging Day.

11. All new banners made in 2008 will receive a participation ribbon and a premium of $5.00. Special awards will be given to the new banners. These awards will be cash awards for first ($15), second ($10) and third ($5) place from the Red River Valley Fair.
