Project requirements sometimes change from year to year. Do not rely on old requirements from previous years to be accurate for the current year. By March 1 of each year, the information listed in this page should be current for that year's upcoming fair. If you have questions, please contact the Extension office directly.

4-H Manuals contain important educational material about your project(s). Use them and learn.

4-H Handbooks are available from the Extension office and below in section 1. They have the answers to most questions relating to the fair and project exhibits. Individual project requirements from the handbook and most record sheets are available from the links below in section 2.

Records: 4-H member and family is responsible for having the correct record sheet for the project. Please double-check to see that your record sheet matches your project, especially in those projects with multiple record sheets or with individual record sheets for each level or division. Some projects may have record sheets in the manual (not available separately), a record book, or some other record system. In these cases, please contact the Extension office. Your club leader may also be able to help.
