BOONE, Iowa—One Hundred and eighty (180) 4-H & FFA members entered a total of six hundred twenty-two (622) static exhibits at the 2022 Boone County Fair on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
Eleven judges visited with 4-H & FFA members about their exhibits during conference judging. Members talked about their goals, steps they went through to create their exhibits, and what they learned. The judges shared comments and suggestions with each member as exhibits were evaluated. 4-H exhibits are judged to educate, encourage, and evaluate the youth about their project work.
