4-H club and Exhibitor Information
Plymouth County 4-H Club Banner Contest
The 4-H Banner Contest will be held at the Marshfield Fair, August 16 – 25, 2019. The purpose of the 4-H Banner Contest will be for ALL 4-H clubs to be represented at the fair. Banners will be displayed in the Dairy and Beef barns and will remain up for the entire 10 day fair. This will help to show off all Plymouth County 4-H clubs regardless of if they participate in livestock and animal shows at the fair.
All 4-H Clubs are eligible to participate. Each Banner must be 6 feet wide by 3 feet tall. We prefer that all banners are made from supplied felt. In addition, all banners must have 5, 2 inch tabs sewn to the top back of the banner so they can be hung properly in the barns. There are additional criteria to follow, please see 4-H Banner Contest score sheet for more information.
All 4-H Banners are due to the Plymouth County Extension Office by August 1st. Any banners received after this date will not be eligible for prizes and may not be displayed during the fair.
If you have questions about this contest, please contact Valerie at the Plymouth County Extension Office at 774-404-7022 or email Valerie @ vschell@umass.edu
