Changes to State Fair General Project Schedule
The State 4-H Office just announced changes to the schedule of the 2008 State Fair Junior Department general project judging. Action-oriented projects (Foods Demonstrations, Public Presentations & Fashion Revue) will be judged on each county's assigned day, along with conference-judged exhibits. Mason County is scheduled to exhibit general project areas on Thursday, August 14. The ONLY exception is the bicycle project - Bicycle Rodeo will be judged ONLY on Saturday, August 16.
Please note that the schedule change is different than what is printed in the 2008 Mason County 4-H Show Book for those project areas. State Fair livestock exhibit schedule HAS NOT been changed.
