Clover Kids Cedar County Fair Static Exhibit Information
Clover Kids static exhibits will be entered at the same time as the 4-H static exhibits. Admission times may either be Tuesday evening, July 15, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. or Wednesday morning, July 16, from 7:30 – 9:00. Junior Leaders or 4-H representatives will be available to interview the Clover Kids about their projects on Tuesday evening ONLY. Exhibit (identification) tags will be attached, and the exhibits will be arranged for display. The Clover Kids will receive a participation ribbon and a certificate with the number of entries they brought to the fair. Clover Kids are encouraged to be creative in their projects for the Cedar County Fair. Please see the clover kid page in the back of the fairbook for project examples. Clover Kids are allowed to bring a maximum of twelve static exhibits in addition to events participated in prior to and during the fair. They may bring their cat, rabbit, or other small pet if they choose. The animals must be confined (kennel, leash, etc.) The pets come only for the interview process and then are to be returned home. Please use your own judgment; bringing pets is not required. However, please bring a picture of the child and the pet for display. This is not a competitive process. Under NO circumstances do Clover Kids participate in any 4-H fair activities that include the judging process. It is important for these children to feel that they are a part of the fair activities, but it is participation only!
