York County 4-H Blast
August 10, 2017
State Fair Online Entries Due Today at 5 p.m.
The entry site can be found at the following link. This is only for in-person events at the State Fair. Static Exhibits will be entered by Extension Staff per judges' selections.
Attention Quilt Exhibitors:
Nebraska 4-H will be accepting Quilts of Valor at the 2017 Nebraska State Fair. Quilts that received purple ribbons at the county fair can be entered and judged in the Quilt Quest, Home Environment, and Citizenship project areas. All other Quilts of Valor that will not be judged can be dropped off at the Quilt Quest area. We plan on displaying all Quilts of Valor at the fair and have the “Quilts of Valor Presentation” on Saturday, September 2nd beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the 4-H Building. 4-H'ers and volunteers who have made and donated quilts will be recognized as their quilt is shown on stage. I encourage you to attend!
If you would like to send your 4-H Quilt of Valor to the Nebraska State Fair, please register that quilt by filling out the following form. If you are exhibiting more than one, you will need to complete the form for each quilt. If you do not want to send your QOV project, let me know by responding to this email.
