Oak Town 4-H Youth Fair Entries

The Alameda County Fair is just around the corner. Our Club Members are encouraged to submit Still Exhibit items  to the Alameda County Fair. How can our Oak Town 4-H members do this? Below are three sample routes for Youth Still Exhibit Alameda County Fair entries.

1. At our April OT4H Club Meeting we are having a Craft Fair. Members are given the opportunity to create a few crafts that can be entered in the fair. 
   
   • IF they fill out a short form (Name, craft item, craft title) their entries can be submitted by the Club. 
     
   • Members would need to take their craft home and keep it safe until fair entries are due to be delivered and then 
     
   • Entries will have the family email contact on file with the club as the “Contact Number” so you WILL get a notice letting you know the item was entered
     
   • Our club member families will make every effort to set up “car pools” for the items to be delivered to the fair at the correct date/time
     
2. Some Projects may be working on fair entries as part of their project work. Some of these items created MAY be able to be entered in the Fair by the Project Leader. Please check with your Project Leader to see if they are planning to enter any items made as part of their Project work
   
3. Additional items can be entered directly by the member family. These Still Exhibits can be related to something they learned in their 4-H Project or can be something entirely different. For a list and information on what can be entered as Youth Still Exhibits, be sure to read through the Alameda County FAIR YOUTH STILL EXHIBITS GUIDE.
