In a year full of hardships and obstacles we are so
thankful our 4-H and FFA members had the opportunity to
exhibit their projects at the 2020 Delaware County Fair!
This year's fair has been truly unforgettable because of
the tremendous support we have seen in Delaware
County!
Thank you to all 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, leaders,
advisors, volunteers, committees, judges, vets,
auctioneers, Fairboard, and everyone in between for
making the 2020 Delaware County Fair an experience we
will remember forever.
It takes a village to make a County Fair successful and we
have the BEST people in Delaware County working hard
to make that happen each and every year.
WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach does not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, national origin, pregnan-
cy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or status as a U.S. veteran. Direct inquiries to the Diversity Officer, 515-294-1482, [email protected].
In place of the Iowa State Fair, this year they are offering a virtual submission of exhibits called “4-H Show Iowa”.
We know this will be a bit different from having an exhibit at the Iowa State Fair. However, Iowa 4-H believes in providing
evaluation feedback for members in their project work and wants to continue to showcase the best of the best around the
state.
The intent is to have all exhibits evaluated by August 12 and results shared back with counties by August 20. These
dates are tentative. We hope there are minimal challenges with the virtual showcase, but it appears this is the year for the
unexpected. Please do be patient as we all work through new processes.
Results will be sent to exhibitors and posted on the Delaware County 4-H Facebook page and in the September 4-H
Newsletter. Good luck to all our static exhibitors!!

Record Book Help Night! August 25th!
Record book season is now upon us! There will be a “Record Book Help Night”
on Tuesday, August 25th from 5:00-6:00 p.m. 4-Hers can come to the Exten-
sion Office to work on their record books. We will have forms, pencils, scissors, tape, etc. for
youth to use.
Can't make it to the Help Night? That's okay! Check our Facebook page for helpful tips for
completing your Record Book. https://www.facebook.com/delawareco4h/
COUNTY RECORDKEEPING AWARDS County awards are available to junior members for outstanding recordkeeping skills and to intermediate and senior members for project work.
To apply for these awards, fill out the front side of the awards application and include it inside the front cover of your recordbook before turning it in to your club leader. The club leader will complete the back before bringing the recordbook into the office by October 4. Fill out and attach the "Awards Consideration" form (on the bottom of this page) to the outside front cover of your record. Extra forms are available at the Extension Office.
These two sheets are required only if you apply for county awards.
For project awards, you must have records for at least two years including the current year because the committee needs to see growth in that project area. Project awards can be received only once as an intermediate and once as a senior. Juniors (4-6 graders) are encouraged to apply for special Junior Recordkeeping Awards but they are not eligible to apply for project awards.
4-H RECORD BOOKS DUE TO LEADERS BY SEPTEMBER 21!
4-H recordkeeping teaches the important life skill of keeping accurate records. Recordkeeping is an on-going process that doesn’t end when the 4-H year ends. 4-H recordkeeping should reflect the member’s
goals, accomplishments, and future plans. Forms are available online or at the Extension Office. If you have any questions on rec-
ord keeping please contact Kenzie!
4-Her’s are encouraged to develop a system that includes: Records for one or more projects, Completion of Yearly Summary, and
Self evaluation.
Tabs can help you find what you’re looking for quickly. Arrange your records with the most current material in the front. One way to
arrange could be:
1. Expected Standards for Delaware County 4-H program
2. 4-H Yearly Summary
3. General clippings and photographs
4. Project A
• Current Year Project record
• Current Year Project clippings and photographs
• Previous Year’s Project record/worksheets
• Previous Year’s Project clippings and photographs
5. Project B, C, D, etc. Arrange the same as Project A
6. Put records of non-current projects in the back of your record.

toward 4-H, participation in the 4-H club, relationships with other members, etc.) 3. Are there any special or unusual situations the award selection committee should be aware of pertaining
to this member or this program? Signed___________________________________________________________ Date______________
