Entries are allowed in this class only if they do not fit into another class in the Fair. Juniors, intermediates, and seniors must submit a copy of the 4-H Project Plan/Commitment page from their record book as part of the exhibit. This is a category of still life exhibits that is the end product of advanced learning in 4-H project areas or exploratory innovative projects that are not covered with the usual project material support. This class should reflect individual endeavor beyond the scope of typical project work. The exhibit may be the actual product of the project (e.g., rebuilt diesel engine – Mechanical Science exhibit), or may be a visual presentation of the work done (e.g., photos of steps in cleaning oil from waterfowl, and accompanying information – Environmental Stewardship.) Any posters prepared as part of this class will be judged. Notebooks will not be accepted as the lone exhibit of the project. Notebooks may accompany the completed exhibit in order to document activities in the project. They should enhance the presentation of the exhibit – not be the primary exhibit. Notebooks are not judged as a part of the presentation. All large entries must receive prior approval from the fair manager because of space limitations.

4-H & FFA ANIMAL DEPARTMENTS

ALL ANIMALS AND EXHIBITORS MUST BE PRE-ENTERED BY JULY 15 2026
ANIMAL PROJECT RULES
- No animals will be allowed to leave the grounds before 6 p.m. Sunday.
- Livestock Haul Out route and schedules will be posted in each department, or check with Department Superintendent. Anyone removing animals prior to 6 p.m. or not following the Haul Out route will forfeit all premiums and awards.

All animal exhibitors will be required to attend with a parent or chaperone. Rules and regulations will be explained. Superintendent will share date and time of orientation meeting to enrolled exhibitors. An additional 4-H Orientation will happen the Thursday before Fair.

- Animals must be under the 4-H member’s regular care and management and have an Animal Certificate on file with the County Extension Office by June 1st. (Animals raised by the 4-H member from birth are exempt from this minimum time period.) (Source: 4-H Policy and Procedures).

Animal Health and Use of Illegal Substances: The use of illegal drugs and/or the improper use of animal health products or foreign substances will not be tolerated in the Washington State 4-H Youth Development Program. Extension personnel, 4-H volunteers, families, youth and the Fair/Show officials have a legal and moral obligation not to misuse these products. We have the responsibility to tell others not to use these substances, and to report those who do use any illegal substance. The administration of any drug or medication, which could affect an animal’s performance resulting in an unfair advantage or the disposition of the animal, is unacceptable. Additionally, there are federal penalties for using illegal substances in animals that are going into the nation’s food supply. For more information, refer to the National Show Ring Code of Ethics (link), which will be strictly enforced by the Fair.

OTHER SMALL ANIMALS
- Exhibitor must be present when animal or exhibit is being judged. Check with Small Animal Barn or 4-H Building Superintendent for judging time.

the care and handling of these animals is very similar among species.) This applies to many constrictor and colubrid species, as well as similar species of lizards, turtles, and tortoises. Exhibitor may enter up to 3 animals per Class as long as there enough species differences between the animals. Check with Superintendent if clarification is needed.

4-H MASTER SHOWMAN CONTEST
The 4-H Master Showmanship Contest is a contest between the Champion and Reserve Champion.
There will be two categories:
- Large Animals (beef, dairy, horse, sheep, and swine)
- Small Animals (dog, cat, rabbit, poultry, and cavies).
These contestants will have been chosen from their respective overall showmanship contests. The winner from last year will not be able to participate in this final event. Should he/ she be the showmanship winner in his/her animal area again, the next highest award winner will be the representative from that area.
Each contestant may be required to show each of the five types of animals for three (3) minutes, then move on to the next animal grouping until all animals have been shown.
The contestants with the highest number of points will be the winner.
Ribbons will be given to the first five (5) places.
This is a Show of Champions in which all 4-H “showmen” strive to express of their cumulative knowledge and skills from the respective project areas.
