Overview:

The Teton County 4-H Fair (hereafter, “Fair”) gives members, families, and the public the opportunity to see the skills and abilities cultivated through the 4-H program.  This book contains information on exhibiting static and live animal projects at the Choteau Pavilion and the Weatherbeater Arena during Fair week.

All Fair exhibitors will participate in Interview Judging. Additionally, market animal exhibitors must bring their 4-H Record Book (hereafter, “Record Book”) to their interview to be eligible to sell in the Livestock Sale. Please see Special Notes for Market Animal Interview Judging.

If dismissed from an event, it will be at their own expense. Depending on the conduct violation, whether by a 4-H member or a member’s family or responsible adult, the 4-H member may lose the privilege to exhibit at the Pavilion and/or show and sell market animals at the Livestock Sale (as determined by the 4-H Council or 4-H Livestock Committee, respectively.)  Repeat violations may result in loss of privilege to attend future 4-H activities, events, and the ability to serve as a 4-H Volunteer. 

Back to the Top

The 4-H Record Book:

To earn the privilege of exhibiting at the current year’s Fair, each 4-H member’s Record Book from the prior year must have been submitted to the Extension office.(This does not apply to first year 4-H members.) 

Back to the Top

Fair Entry Rules:

1. Projects for exhibit must have been completed between July 2024 and June 2025.
2. Exhibits are registered for Fair 2025 on the Teton County Extension webpage before close-of-business on May 21, 2025. Categories of Fair entries are defined here:
   1. Division is the broadest category and can represent one or several overall 4-H project areas, e.g., Food and Nutrition.
   2. Classes are found within each Division and are most often specific projects, e.g., Baking 1.
   3. Lots are found under each Class and are the most specific category. Lots describe the Fair entry itself, e.g., Cornmeal muffins.
   4. Only one entry per lot number is allowed.
3. Entry tags are available on the Teton County Extension webpage or at the registration desk at the Pavilion on Interview Judging day.
4. Attach an entry tag securely to each exhibit before Interview Judging with the following information clearly written on it:

1. 1. Name and 4-H age (the age member was Oct 1, 2024)
   2. Year in Project (For example, if the member has been in Baking 2 for three years, write “three” on the years in project line.)
   3. Division Number, Class Number and Lot Number

5. Any 4-H member can sign up for entries in “For All Members” classes and lots without being formally enrolled in that project. For instance, if a member is not enrolled in any foods projects but wants to enter baked goods in the Fair, register under the Division 4 Foods and Nutrition in the For All Members class.

6. Please note that there is a class for schoolwork (Division 13 Class 11) that is open to all 4-H members.  Any schoolwork from the current school year that is not associated with a 4-H project may be entered in this class.
   1. Be sure to write “schoolwork” on the entry tag in addition to the other required tag information, above.

7. Animal exhibitors must provide the Extension office with copies of important animal health documents before Fair, e.g., rabies vaccinations for cats and dogs, proof of official scrapies tags for sheep and goats, and bangs numbers for heifers.

The Interview Judging Process:

The Fair is designed as a growth event for 4-H youth.  Members will gain life skills by:   

• Studying information about the project topic
• Discovering problems as they arise
• Learning ways to handle problems and challenges
• Explaining decisions during the project
• Learning the cost of the project - money, materials, time, and effort
• Reflecting on the impact of project on themselves and their families
• Preparing an exhibit creatively, carefully, and neatly
• Knowing steps and processes involved in preparing their exhibit

In their assessments, Interview Judges consider the quality of the project/exhibit as well as the member’s age-appropriate interview skills (i.e., responses to questions and demeanor).  For criteria and example questions, see the Judge’s Rubric.

Back to the Top

Special Notes for Market Animal Interview Judging:

Starting in 2024, market animal exhibitors are required to bring their paper Record Book to the interview, including the market animal project pages.  The market animal interview judges are experienced livestock producers, and the Record Book entries will form the basis of the interview discussion.

If market animal members fail to show up for the interview or do not have their Record Book with them at the interview, they cannot show their animal(s) at the Livestock Show or sell their market animal(s) at the Livestock Auction.  

Members who have not made entries in their market animal project pages will receive an automatic white ribbon for the interview, as this demonstrates absence of full engagement with the financial and animal husbandry educational goals as well as a lack of preparation for the interview.  

Back to the Top

Interview Judging Schedule:

Interview Judging is scheduled by 4-H club. The order in which clubs interview is determined by rotation and is available on in the Club Rotation section.  Specific club arrival times will be published each year in the June 4-H newsletter as they are based on the number of entries per club. The number of interview judges hired is based on the number of Fair entries at registration, so please follow through with all entries.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your club’s scheduled interview time.  If a member cannot attend the scheduled Interview Judging day, contact the Extension Office at least 2 weeks in advance to request an alternative one-on-one interview prior to Fair. 

Back to the Top

Ribbons and Ratings:

The quality of the exhibit and the member’s age-appropriate knowledge and interview skills will be evaluated by the judges to determine the ribbon awarded to a member (see Judges’ Rubric).  Ribbons are associated with cash awards, also known as “premiums”.

• Green Ribbon: Cloverbud members will receive green ribbons for participation (no premium).
• White Ribbon: I tried. I learned. I have room for improvement and more learning ($2.00 premium).
• Red Ribbon: I tried. I learned. I did a good job, and I have room to improve and learn more ($3.00 premium).
• Blue Ribbon: I tried. I learned.  I did very well, met most of my goals, and can still learn and do more ($5.00 premium).

At the completion of each interview, the judge will place a white, red, or blue sticker on the exhibit’s entry tag, corresponding to the ribbon earned.  

Members carry their Fair entry forms with them during the Interview Judging process.  After all a member’s entries have been judged, the member will drop off the Fair entry form to the Premium Table, to be tallied.

Next, each member will participate in writing thank you notes to the judges and donors, at an area set up for this activity.  After members write thank you notes, they should return to the Premium Table to collect their premiums.  Each person accepting a premium(s) will sign a form documenting its receipt.

Back to the Top

Class and Division Awards:

When all 4-H members have completed their interviews, the judges will determine if awards for overall excellence are merited.  Purple rosette ribbons may be given for each Class, and top awards for each Division, at the judges’ discretion.

• Purple Rosette: I tried. I learned. I’ve done very well in my Class. Now I must continue to challenge myself to strive further and think about sharing my skills by teaching others (an additional $10.00 premium).
• Division Prize: I tried. I learned. I’ve done very well in my Division. I should consider competing with this project in the Montana State Fair! (Members may choose from an additional $25 premium or a prize.)
  • Top awards by Division are not selected until after Interview Judging is over, so Division awards may be picked up at the Weatherbeater Arena all day Friday or before 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Back to the Top

Auction of Static Exhibits:

At the discretion of the Extension team, Class or Division award winners may be invited to sell a static exhibit at the Livestock Sale on Saturday, June 28, 2025.  Selling at auction is optional, strictly voluntary, and by invitation only.  Members can indicate in advance (during online Fair registration) which exhibits they would be willing to auction, if invited.

Back to the Top

Attitudes of Gratitude:

The Fair is a collective effort of community members within and outside of the Teton County 4-H family.  The Extension team works with 4-H members at Interview Judging to ensure that all judges and donors receive handwritten thank you notes for their support of the Fair. 

Livestock buyers are very generous with 4-H members.  Personal thank you notes from members to their livestock buyers are collected and mailed by the Extension Office after the Fair.  Each member’s fully addressed and stamped thank-you note(s) must be delivered to the Extension Office to receive payment for animal(s) sold.

4-H families are encouraged to recognize the help and support of other friends and volunteers by writing additional notes of appreciation, as appropriate.

Back to the Top

Exhibit Display and Removal:

We want to share the great work of our 4-H members with the Teton County community.  Please leave exhibits on display in the Pavilion until 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

Exhibits should be picked up between 1 and 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

Old Agency 4-H Club will be cleaning the Pavilion on Saturday, June 28 or Sunday, June 29, 2025.  Any exhibits in the Pavilion at that time will be temporarily stored at the Extension Office.  Orphaned exhibits will be donated or disposed of within 2 weeks after Fair.  The Teton County 4-H Council and Teton County Extension Office are not liable for damages or loss of exhibits.

Back to the Top

Grievances:

A Grievance Committee consisting of the 4-H Council President, Extension staff, a member of the Fair Committee, and a 4-H Ambassador or Junior Leader will review any procedural complaints.  Grievances must be submitted in writing to:

Large Animal General Rules:

1. Safety is paramount. The Livestock Committee, Extension Agent, and/or Judge have the right and duty to disqualify unmanageable animals from market or showmanship classes and possibly require removal of the animal from the fairgrounds.

2. Fairness is a core value of this competition. No sedatives, tranquilizers, or behavioral management aids, oral or injectable, may be used on animals to be shown. Any questionable use will be subject to veterinary examination and the member will be disqualified if found to be in violation.  Any substance that would make an animal unsafe or illegal for slaughter is not to be administered.

3. Dress code:
   1. Dark pants and hard-soled shoes are required; athletic shoes are not permitted.
   2. The pants should be of one color, have no holes, and should not be frayed.

   6. All exhibitors will be assigned a back tag number and will always wear it while exhibiting.
   7. These rules apply to both the shows and the livestock sale.

4. All 4-H exhibits will be judged on the modified Danish system. In this system, judges decide whether there are entries worthy of receiving overall top honors in Class and Division. All decisions made by judges are final.

6. Each member is allowed only one entry per lot. A member having more than one animal in a Class must have another 4-H member show the other animal(s).

7. Market animal members must meet educational requirements and possession/paperwork deadlines to show or sell at the Fair.

1. The Teton County 4-H Fair Livestock Sale is a terminal sale.
   1. All animals must be weighed by an official scale master at the assigned weigh in time upon arrival at the Fair
      1. For Beef, all Bills of Sale must be presented for collection at weigh-in. Your market beef will not be weighed without a correctly completed bill of sale.

   1. A member may sell more than one animal only when one of the member’s non-designated market animal(s) earns Grand or Reserve Champion in its market class. In this case, the champion non-designated animal must also sell.

3. Show order will be alphabetically by first or last name.

4. Sale order will be drawn by random means except that the Grand and Reserve Champion market animals sell first and second in their respective species class.

5. Any “re-sells” (market animals purchased and then donated back to be sold again) will be re-sold at the end of the livestock sale.

6. All market animals must also participate in the County Carcass Competition.

Back to the Top

Carcass Competition Rules:

1. All market animals entering the sale ring will participate in the carcass quality contest, whether conducted by ultrasound at Fair weigh-in or by visual inspection in the processor’s cooler, after harvest.

2. In the case of ultrasound judging, all animals must adhere to the ultrasound judges’ preference for shaving the coat at weigh in.

3. In the case of in-the-cooler carcass judging, all market animals of the same species will be harvested at a single location so that the carcasses are handled consistently.

4. Teton County 4-H will follow the State Steer of Merit (SOM), Swine Symbol of Excellence (SOE), and Certified Lamb and Goat guidelines for determining grand champion, reserve champion, and the rank order of carcasses.

Back to the Top

Sponsored Livestock and Carcass Awards:

1. Herdsman Awards are earned by market animal members who demonstrate excellence in care of their animal(s) housed at the Fair, good sportsmanship, and respect for the the facility. If merited, one Herdsman awardee will be chosen for Beef, Swine, and Lamb/Goat.

2. Carcass awards recognize excellence in meat production for each market animal species. A County-level award is earned for the top carcass in each market animal species (Beef, Swine, Lamb, and Goat) and each animal’s carcass evaluation data is also sent to the state carcass competition.

Specialty Food Awards

Maryetta Hodgskiss Bread Award

Maryetta Hodgskiss' family sponsors a specialty award for a 4-H member baking bread.  Maryetta supported this award out of her appreciation for agriculture and her desire for 4-H members to improve their skills using a locally grown ag product.  The winner of the award receives an item to  use in their kitchen.  

Florence Weist Memorial Food Award 

Florence Weist was a strong supporter of 4-H.  She was locally famous for her cinnamon rolls that were sprinkled with love and shared abundantly. Her family felt it was fitting to use her memorial donation to support 4-H.  The Florence Weist Memorial Award has traditionally been a marble rolling pin and is awarded to any 4-H member for an outstanding entry in the foods area.

Douglas Roark Welding Award

Douglas Roark, father and grandfather of Tracie, Ben, and Caroline Roeder was an extraordinary welder and a US Army veteran.  He believed, "If I had enough time and resources, I could build a rocket and send a man to the moon.  I just need to think about it and work hard." None of us would have been surprised if he did!  Doug's mind and work ethic were extraordinary.  His welding skills spanned cutting up railroad grain cars for scrap in Glacier National Park to fine precision work on historical building preservation projects in Missoula.  The Douglas Roark Memorial Welding Award is for the welding project that best exemplifies ingenuity and craftsmanship. The award recipient will receive $50.
