Important Dates for 2024
Interview Judging
Interview Judging 2023
Hopefully, everybody had their projects done before last night and got some rest before Interview Judging today!
Interview Judging will be held in the McKee Building at The Ranch. Please arrive for your scheduled interview 15–30 minutes early for check-in. Make sure that you bring your completed record book with all necessary signatures.
If you have a large exhibit or require help to unload, park by the garage doors and come inside to notify someone at the registration table.
Everyone needs to check in and receive their exhibitor packet in the Exhibit Hall before their interview. When you are called for your interview, take your packet with you and the superintendents will help to attach your entry cards to the project and the record book.
Shooting Sports members will come to the Exhibit Hall to check in and then proceed to the back hallway and check in again in the LaPorte Room. There is a seating to wait in the hallway until you are called for your interview.

Interview Judging Day 2021
We are looking forward to seeing you at 2021 Interview Judging Day next Tuesday, August 3rd!
This year there will be some changes to the check-in process, so we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. In the spirit of 4-H, we are again learning by doing and seeking to make the best better!
Please read the following carefully. This will help the day flow more smoothly.
On arrival, all members should enter the Exhibit Hall in the McKee Building at The Ranch. Signs will indicate where you check-in, based on the first letter of your last name. (Shooting sports also needs to go to the Exhibit Hall for check-in this year.) At the check-in table, you will receive a manila envelope with pink cards in it. You will receive two matching pink cards for each of your exhibits.
Please keep your cards in the envelope until you are called for an interview, to prevent them from being lost or damaged. When you are called for an interview, present the two matching cards for the correct class to the volunteer. They will assist you in attaching the pink cards to your Record Book and Exhibit.
You will then complete your interview as usual. We appreciate you taking care to not lose your cards during this process.
Lastly, please remember that you must pick up your projects on August 11th between 7:00–10:00 a.m. Please plan accordingly.
We look forward to seeing you soon! Good luck with your final touches!
Best,
Cindy Buckardt

Club News for July 27
Dairy Bar Signup
As a club, we voted to volunteer at the Dairy Bar on Saturday, August 7 during the fair. Very few have signed up. Please visit the SignUpGenius and sign up to work a short shirt to support our club and the Junior Leader Club.
Decorating the Parade Float
We’re decorating the parade float on Friday night at 6:00 p.m. at Construction Supply House (806 North 2nd Street, Berthoud, CO) We have two floats to work on. If your record books are finished, bring them for signing.
The parade starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. I should know where the float will be tomorrow and will let you all know. Please wear a club shirt and remember your water bottles.
Parents are welcome to ride the float or many of us sit at 246 South Cleveland—look for the sign out front that reads FAFLC on the east side of the street. Don’t forget to bring your chairs.

Interview Judging/Project Check-in
When you go to your interview on Tuesday, please remember the 4-H Dress Code. Also, before you sit down, reach your hand out to shake the judge’s hand and be sure to introduce yourself. Most importantly, RELAX!
Since we are using the Fair Entry software system for projects this year, a pink card will be attached to each project when it is checked in. But we recommend attaching a label with your name and the project just in case the card gets separated while at the Fair.
If your project is made to hang up, be sure to have a method of hanging attached so it can be displayed.
