4-H club members are more important than the project.
Project work is one of the best devices for developing young people.
To “Learn by Doing” is fundamental in any sound educational program
and is characteristic of the 4-H program.
4-H’ers should be their own best exhibit. This means in manners,
attitudes and courtesy, as well as appropriate dress and physical
appearance.
Competition is a part of life and should be recognized in 4-H as a human
trait, but competition requires careful planning and safeguards when
used as an educational device.
No 4-H award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a 4-H member or
leader.
A blue ribbon 4-H’er with a red ribbon exhibit is more desirable than a
red ribbon 4-H’er with a blue ribbon exhibit.
Our job is to teach 4-H members how to think, not what to think.
Principles of 4-H = Responsibility + Pride + Integrity

Supervision of 4-H Fair Buildings
Harford County 4-H’ers take pride in their
entries on display during the Fair. It is the
responsibility of all 4-H and Clover Clubs to
see that the entries are not damaged or missing
through proper supervision of the buildings.
Clubs on duty supervise the total 4-H Indoor
Exhibit Building. This means:
Watch the front & back of each
building where there are exits
Answer questions from the public
Be generally alert
A lot of time and much effort has been
invested in each exhibit, so every effort needs
to be made to ensure the entries remain intact
and undamaged. It is important to use the sign
in sheet so we know that the building is being
properly supervised.
Each club is responsible for having four (4)
persons (ONLY) present at all times,
consisting of:
two 4-H’ers
two responsible senior 4-H’ers, junior
leaders, adult leaders or parents – no
large groups – spread the time out.
Clover Clubs must have at least two
adults assisting.
Some clubs may not have 4-H’ers with
exhibits in this building, but it is still the
clubs’ responsibility to have members to
supervise this building as a service project
and to promote 4-H.
Please check the schedule with your club
members. Each leader must submit a list
of who will be volunteering during their
clubs’ designated time by JULY 1.
Attention Leaders: If there is a conflict with
your clubs’ prescheduled time, please contact
the Extension Office as soon as possible.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate your
cooperation.
