Bureau County 4-H state fair delegates attended the virtual Illinois State Fair in Springfield with their qualifying projects. The Illinois 4-H State Fair General Project Show is an opportunity for youth to be competitively judged on project work, as well as receive valuable feedback from experts, which allow them to increase their knowledge and mastery in a project area.
All qualifying youth exhibiting in the state general project show received a recognition ribbon, Award of Excellence. Champion and Reserve Champion awards are given to the top exhibits in the class. Inspire awards are given at the judge’s discretion for projects they wished to highlight or acknowledge as inspirational.
