WELCOME
e Wright County District Junior Fair Board together with the
merchants of Belmond, Clarion, Dows, Galt, Goldeld, Holmes, Renwick,
Rowan, Woolstock & Eagle Grove take pride in announcing the annual
Wright County District Junior Fair which will take place at the Fair

We have setup a program that is both educational & entertaining & have
perfected plans to make this the most outstanding Fair that this county
& adjoining counties have ever sponsored. We are proud to keep making
the Fair the best around, an accomplishment that has been
possible only because of the strong support that we receive from our
youth, youth leaders, merchants & the many ne people who attend the
Fair each year.

a 4-H member or FFA member eligible to exhibit at the Fair & approved in advance of the show by the superintendent. An exhibitor who has more
than one animal in a class need not secure approval for another eligible showman to exhibit one of his or her animals. However, it is expected that
such cases will be brought to the attention of the clerk checking animals into the show ring.

Iowa Youth Code of Ethics
Youth are expected to be sincere, honest & act in sportsmanlike ways at all times. Youth represent the entire program & their behavior reects on
their parents, leaders, club & the entire youth program. All adults involved with the youth program, leaders as well as parents, are expected to set
positive examples & serve as positive role models by what they say & do. Any youth who breaks the code of ethics or allows another person (adult or
peer) to talk them into violating the code of ethics agrees to forfeit all prizes, awards, & premiums. e youth may also be prohibited from exhibiting at
this & future exhibitions including the Iowa State Fair & other county, state or regional exhibitions.
Youth agree to follow these guidelines:
1. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age & physical & mental development. is includes research & writing of exhibit explanations,
preparing exhibits (such as sewing, cooking, renishing, etc.), care & grooming of animals, etc. Adult assistance should help guide & support me,
not do it for me.
2. All exhibits will be a true representation of my work. Any attempt to take credit for other’s work, alter the conformation of animals, or alter their
performance is prohibited. Copyright violation or allowing others to complete your exhibit is considered misrepresentation & is prohibited.
3. I will treat all people & animals with respect. I will provide appropriate care for animals.
4. I will present exhibits that are safe for consumption. All food exhibits will be safe to exhibit & for judges to evaluate. Other exhibits will be safe for
judges to evaluate & for exhibition.
5. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for consumers, & shall have met all withdrawal times for all

medications that are administered shall be done according to the label instructions of the medication used.
7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including medications, external applications & surgical procedures. Any
animal that is found to have changed its appearance or its performance shall be disqualied from the show, & have penalties assessed against the
exhibitor, parent &/or guardian by the management of the fair or exhibition.
8. I will follow all ownership & possession rules &, if requested, will provide the necessary documentation.
9. I will follow all livestock health requirements for this fair or exhibition, according to the state health requirements as printed in the premium book
for the fair or exhibition. I will provide animal health certicates from a licensed veterinarian upon request from the management of the fair or
exhibition.
10. By my entering an animal in this fair or exhibition, I am giving consent to the management of the fair or exhibition to obtain any specimens of
urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. If the laboratory report on the analysis of any sample indicates
a presence of forbidden drugs, this shall be evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is
presumed that the sample tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved & all
procedures of said collection & preservation, transfer to the laboratory & analysis of the sample are correct & accurate & the report received from
the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question & correctly reects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was
taken, with the burden on the exhibitor, parent &/or guardian to prove otherwise.
11. I am responsible for my exhibit & I will not allow others to violate this code on my behalf. By my entering an exhibit in this fair or exhibition I
will accept any disciplinary action taken by the management of the fair or exhibition for any violation of this code of ethics & any other rules of

13. I will not be involved in any illegal activities while participating in 4-H & FFA events, including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco or drug use.

Complaint Procedure
When participating in the fair, rules & protocols are set to ensure safety & integrity for all participants. To ensure consistency & fairness, a process is
necessary to respond to & resolve issues or complaints in those situations when 4-H or FFA members &/or families fail to abide by outlined rules in
the Wright County District Junior Fair Book. e following process will be used to resolve a protest, complaint or appeal led around a competitive
event or other fair related issues as they may arise.
General Rules:
Only the 4-H or FFA member & their parent/guardian may le a complaint. e member must have been entered & participated in the same
project area or department to le a protest or complaint.
e burden of proof lies with the individual ling the complaint, not the individual the complaint is led against. If a decision is appealed, the
burden of proof lies with the individual(s) ling the appeal.
ere will be times immediate decisions will be needed. In these cases, a committee will have the authority to provide a quick response or take
needed action to resolve the issue.
If there are costs incurred to resolve the complaint led, the complainant will pay any & all fees (e.g. testing costs). e fee will be refunded in the
event a complaint is founded or upheld.
• Upon receiving a formal written protest or complaint, the Complaint Committee (outlined below) will promptly investigate the complaint.
e complaint committee will consist of the following make-up of members: Fair Board Executive committee & superintendent(s) of that
department. e 4-H leader or FFA advisor may be involved as needed.
Once a decision is determined by the committee, both parties will be notied in a timely manner & provided reasoning for the decision. If
the decision is found against the individual the complaint is led against, they have ve days to le an ocial appeal. e appeal process
documentation can be picked up in the Wright County Fair Oce.
Ocial Complaint Process:
1. All complaints must be in writing using the Wright County District Junior Fair Complaint Form from the fair oce. e following information will
be included: Name of person involved, date & time of the incident, cause of protest or complaint, action or rule in question, any documentation of
situation, signature & contact information for complainant. No verbal or informal protests or complaints will be accepted.
2. All complaints must be led in the Wright County Fair Oce within 24 hours of the incident using the designated form.
3. A deposit fee of $100 must accompany the completed complaint form. is fee will be refunded in the event a complaint is founded or upheld.
Extended Premium Program for Livestock
As everyone is aware the livestock processing industry is rapidly changing, some things for the good & some things we are not in favor of. Finding an end-
user with a fair price for several species is getting more dicult every year.
2020 gave a challenge in the fact that we were not able to have the livestock auction at the modied fair. In lieu of this auction, the fair board began the
Extended Premium Program for exhibitors. Many donors contributed & all monies collected were given back to livestock exhibitors on a pro-rated basis.
e following year the program collected even more money that was turned right back around to all livestock exhibitors at the fair.
e fair board received numerous notes of appreciation from exhibitors of all species for receiving these extended premiums. Overall, it was a positive &
encouraging way to reward the exhibitors. We also heard success stories of exhibitors working with family & friends to provide quality meat to them at a
fair price to the seller & buyer. It resembles the farm to fork concept & image that all livestock producers desire the general public to understand. is is a
great opportunity for the exhibitors to see their project full circle if they so desire.
Now is the time to begin marketing your livestock project instead of trying to nd a source after the 2024 Wright County Fair. We are in
communication with a local locker to secure spots for animals at the completion of the fair. More information will be provided as it is available.
If you are having trouble marketing your animal, please contact the Superintendent of your department & they will help.

Elements of Design
A design is a visual plan you can use to create your 4-H project. Everything you see has a design. When you describe something you see, you use words
that tell about the lines, shapes, colors, textures, & spaces. Line, shape, color, texture, & space are the basic elements of design.
Line
Lines can be horizontal, vertical, dotted, zig zag, curved, straight, diagonal, bold, or ne. Lines can show direction, lead the eye, outline on object,
divide a space, & communicate a feeling or mood.
Shapes
Shapes are made by connecting lines. Circle, square, triangle, & freeform are words used to identify shapes. Look at the objects around you, & describe
their basic shapes. Are they one shape, or are they a combination of many shapes? After doing this several times, you will understand what shape really
is. Line creates two dimensional or at shapes. When shapes are three dimensional, we call them forms. Circles are shapes; a ball is a form. Squares are
shapes, but cubes are three dimensional & called forms. A sculpture is a three dimensional form.
Color
Color is described with the words hue, value, & intensity. Hue refers to the name of the color – red or blue, for
example. Value tells the lightness or darkness of a hue. Intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of a hue. You
can use a color wheel & learn how colors work together in the publication, 4-H 633 Color.
Texture
Texture is the surface quality of an item. It’s how something feels when touched, or looks like it would feel if
touched. Sandpaper is rough. Velvet is smooth. A drawing of a tree stump could show rough outer bark & a smooth
inner surface. Search for ways to add texture to your projects. Texture adds variety & interest.
Space
Space refers to the area that a shape or form occupies. It also refers to the background against which we see the
shape or form. Space can be dened as positive or negative. e positive space of a design is the lled space in the
design – often it is the shapes that make up the design. Negative space is the background. e negative space in
design is as important as the positive area.
Principles of Design
Some combinations of design elements (line, shape, color, texture, & space) work better than others. Here are some
guidelines to help you understand why some combinations work & others do not work as well. ese guidelines –
rhythm, proportion, emphasis, balance, & unity – are the principles of design.
Rhythm
You have felt rhythm in music. Rhythm is also a part of things you see. It allows the eye to move from one part of a
design to another part.
Rhythm can be created by:
• Repeating a color, shape, texture, line or space when designing.
• Varying the size of objects, shapes, or lines in sequence (small or large).
• Using a progression of colors from tints to shades (light blue to dark blue).
• Shifting from one hue to a neighboring hue (yellow to yellow-orange to orange to red-orange to red).
Proportion
Proportion refers to the relationship between one part of a design & another part or to the whole design. It is
a comparison of sizes, shapes, & quantities. For example, the relationship between the vertical & horizontal
measurements of a wall hanging may be pleasing because the unequal lengths produce an interesting contrast.
Emphasis
Every design needs an accent – a point of interest. Emphasis is the quality that draws your attention to a certain
part of a design rst.
ere are several ways to create emphasis:
• Using a contrasting color.
• Using a dierent or unusual line.
• Making a shape very large or very small.
• Using a dierent shape.
• Using plain background space.
page 33
Balance
Balance gives a feeling of stability. ere are three types of balance. Symmetrical, or formal balance, is the simplest kind. An item
that is symmetrically balanced is the same on both sides. Our bodies are an example of formal balance. If you draw an imaginary
line from your head to your toes dividing your body in half, you will be pretty much the same on both sides. Designs that have a
radial balance have a center point. A tire, pizza, & a daisy ower are all examples of design with radial balance. When you look
through a kaleidoscope, everything you see has a radial balance. Asymmetrical balance creates a feeling of equal weight on
both sides, even though the sides do not look the same. Asymmetrical designs also called informal designs because they suggest
movement & spontaneity. Asymmetrical balance is the hardest type of balance to achieve & often takes experimenting or moving
elements around until balance is achieved.
Unity
When things look right together, you have created unity or harmony. Lines & shapes that repeat each other show unity (curved lines with curved
shapes). Colors that have a common hue are harmonious.
Textures that have a similar feel add to unity. But too much uniformity sometimes can be boring. At the same time, too much variety destroys unity.
Honesty of Design
Honesty of design refers to three specic areas – media, form, & function.
You are being honest with a medium when you are family with that medium, use it to its best advantage, & avoid making it look to
something else. Clay should not be glazed to look like wood, & wood should not be painted to look like clay bricks. Honesty related to form & function
means that parts of a design should work in ways they were intended. Doors on woodworking projects should not be fake; they should open. A
owerpot should be designed to complement the owers & not draw the most attention to the pot.
Ideas & Inspirations
Where do you get your ideas? Just as you do not copy from the encyclopedia when you write a term paper or from another
person’s paper when you take a test, you should never copy another person’s design. You are what makes your designs special!
Inspiration or sources for designs may come from poetry, music, nature, & your own photographs & sketches. Let these inspirations be springboards
for your imagination.
Evaluating Design
Evaluating your designs & those of others can help you improve your understanding about design.
You can get help in evaluating your work from many people, among them your parents, other 4-H members, leaders, teachers, & fair judges. ere is
seldom only one way to improve a design, so don’t be surprised if dierent people have dierent ideas on how you might change your work. In the end,
the decision is yours. Becoming a good designer takes practice. e more you talk about & play with the elements & principles of design, the easier it
will be to use them eectively.
Here are some questions to ask yourself about your designs.
1. Where did you get the idea for your design?
2. Describe one of the design elements. How did you use it?
3. What do you like about the way your design looks?
4. What might you change another time?
5. Is your design honest in media, form, & function?

Flower & Plant Section
Most ower specimens should be conditioned: cut stems evening before entering, place in water immediately, gently wash if dirty, pick o any bugs or damaged
leaves, keep in cool place overnight.
Condition, uniformity of blooms, straightness of stems, healthy foliage will be some of the factors considered by the judge. Labeling entry with name of variety
will be an asset.
Bring specimens in suitable inexpensive clear glass containers (no colored). Stems must be visible to judge without removing owers from container. Some
attached foliage must remain on stem having foliage. Please do not have foliage under the water line on specimens where removal is possible. All stems must be
the same length. Plastic wrap may be used to cover top of containers so stems are straight.
e chairman shall have the right to remove an exhibit if it becomes unsightly. Exhibitors may replace wilted owers, after judging, if they wish.
Helpful Hints: Division I - Vegetables
