One food prepared by the 4-H member should be brought to the Revue with the selected table service, centerpiece, menu card, recipe card, and card table/picnic blanket. 4-H members enrolled in any 4-H Foods projects are eligible to participate.
The FFR is divided into three age divisions: 1) Clover Kids; 2) Juniors - those
11 and under as of January 1, 2019, and 3) Seniors - 4-H members 12 and older.
