STATE FAIR 4-H BUILDING AMBASSADORS

Is the 4-H Building at the Missouri State Fair a summer tradition for you? Maybe the fair is a new experience for you and you would like to learn more. Either way, we have a deal for you!

We are looking for 4-H families and groups; this would be a great activity for a Jr. Leaders team or a club, who are willing to serve as 4-H Building Ambassadors in the 4-H building during the Missouri State Fair.

You ask, “What will I do during this time?” Here is what we need from you if you decide to help:

1. Greet people as they enter the 4-H Building.

2. Promote and answer questions about 4-H.

3. Help with the special activities held in the building.

If you are interested, please follow this link to sign up: https://missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eA76GHzYjDs8TmR. Each person in your group that plans to work will need to be registered. Contact Teresa Bishop,bishopta@missouri.edu, with questions.

er. The mounted photo should be placed in a clear plastic 8 ¼ x 10 ½ inch sleeve.

PLEASE NOTE: Solid requires that there are no cutouts (or other holes) in the matte board, either around or behind the photo (for example, a surface shaped like a picture frame is not a solid mounting surface). Sleeves are intended to protect these special exhibits from handling, dust and humidity.

Altering (editing to change the contents of) a photo is not permitted for State Fair exhibits. Examples include adding a sunset or object, removing someone from the shot, 2.

Examples include cropping the photo, eliminating redeye and changing levels of saturation, brightness, contrast, etc. *Include name, address and county on the back of each photo Photo sleeves and matte boards are available at the Sullivan County Extension office for $1.00 per
