Welcome to the Massachusetts Virtual State 4-H Fair! During this very unusual year, each of us had had to adapt to many changes. We learned how to interact with others in new ways, take part in distance learning, and to hold 4-H meetings on Zoom. Many of our usual activities and programs had to be cancelled. While all of this has been difficult, our 4-H Community has been resilient and adapted, keeping each other safe by finding new, creative ways to meet and to deliver 4-H programming. The Massachusetts virtual state 4-H Fair is one way our program has had to adapt. While this does not intend to replicate or replace the experiences and interactions everyone enjoys at in-person Massachusetts 4-H Fairs, it does provide an opportunity for projects which 4-H members have worked on so diligently to be evaluated and shared. You might find that this fair may allow time for you to try entering a new or different class as well. The College of Natural Resources Dean Serio, Extension Director Jody Jellison, Associate Directors Joe Shoenfeld, William Miller and Kathleen Geary, and the entire 4-H Team wish all participants the best of luck. Let us continue to Make the Best Better through participation in this first ever Massachusetts Virtual State 4-H Fair! Linda Horn Interim Director, University of Massachusetts Extension 4-H Program

ELIGIBILITY: This fair is open to all youth enrolled in the Massachusetts 4-H Program between the ages of 5 and 18 years as of January 1, 2020. 4-H is committed to serving the best interests of youth.

No premiums will be paid. Placing will be awarded based on the exhibit’s quality. Superintendents and judges reserve the right to reject any and all exhibits that are not on the premium list or are of undesirable quality. The judge’s decision is final.

The scoring will be evaluated on the horse’s response to the handler including the handler’s ability to maintain maximum performance. This will show the willingness of the horse to work with the handler to obtain peak performance. 3. The second way of the ring, obstacles will be the focus.
