OUR WEBSTER COUNTY FAIR BOARD

The Webster County Fairgrounds, run by the Webster County Agriculture Association would like to thank you for being a part of our great Webster County Fair. The association is a non-profit 501·c5 organization run by an all-volunteer board of directors, most of whom work full-time jobs in addition to their dedication to the fairgrounds.

The mission of the board is to promote agricultural and domestic science; to hold 4-H and FFA lairs and exhibits as are usually and ordinarily held and promoted by agricultural societies and encourage boys and girls to participate in the programs offered them in 4·H and FFA club work.

All funding received by the Fairgrounds and by the Webster County Fair Foundation, a 501·c3 organization, is put back into the expansion and upkeep of the fairgrounds and to bring a great county fair to Webster County. In 2018, the board invested over $90,000 to complete several projects and has several improvements planned for the near future.

To maintain the day-to-day operations, the board, volunteers and the fairgrounds groundskeeper work to rent the facility, host camping and hold events, such as flea markets and figure-8 races. Also home to the Iowa Central Community College Rodeo Program, fairgrounds is active year-round.

Funding received through county, state, general donations and grants is put towards major projects to upgrade current facilities & equipment and go towards building new facilities at the fairgrounds.

Sponsorship and ticket sales help fund our annual county fair and keeps the cost for community members to enjoy the fair, very minimal. However, that is not possible without your support. Please be sure to buy tickets early and encourage others to become a sponsor of our Fair.

The Board is currently looking for additional volunteers for committees and new board members to join in the support of the fairgrounds, so please reach out to one of the them to learn more about helping and/or becoming part of the board to guide the future of the fairgrounds.

PREMIUMS A total of $6,550 will be pro-rated among all exhibitors. ($1,000 donated from the Webster County 4-H Foundation and $5,500 from the Webster County Fairboard.) All exhibits will be given a Unit Value. Therefore, some classes and exhibits will recelve higher premiums than others.

Each exhibit must be the work of a 4-H'er during the current 4-H year.

The exhibit is to be an outgrowth of a predetermined goal that has been set by the 4H'er. The goal can be accomplished as an outgrowth of a 4-H, school, church or other community activity.

ALL CLUBS WILL BE ASSIGNED AN AREA TO KEEP CLEAN DURING THE FAIR AND FOR FINAL CLEANUP. IF WE HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO YOUR CLEANUP, THE COST WILL BE SUBTRACTED FROM PREMIUM MONEY YOUR CLUB WILL GET.

DESIGN • EXPLORING THE ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES Information taken from 4-H 634.

( copies of this brochure are available from the Extension office)

REFER TO THIS INFORMATION FOR VISUAL ARTS, HOME IMPROVEMENT AND CLOTHING EXHIBITS.

Elements of Design A design is a visual plan you can use to create your 4-H project. Everything you can see has a design. When you describe something you see, you use words that tell about the lines, shapes, colors, textures, and spaces. Line, shape, color, texture, and space are the basic elements of design.

The elements of design are important to everyone who works in textiles and clothing, home interiors, woodworking, photography, landscapes, architecture, foods, and the visual arts. If you understand the design elements, you will be more successful with your 4-H projects.

Line Lines can be horizontal, vertical, dotted, zig zag, curved, straight, diagonal, bold, or fine. Lines can show direction, lead the eye, outline an object, divide a space, and communicate a feeling or emotion.

Shape Shapes are made by connecting lines. Circle, square, triangle, and freeform are words used to identify shapes. Look at the objects around you, and describe their basic shapes. Are they one shape, or are they a combination of many shapes? After doing this several times, you will begin to understand what shape really is. Line creates two dimensional or flat 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 and called forms. A sculpture is a three dimensional form.

Color Color is described with the words hue, value, and 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 and 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 and a smooth inner surface. Search for ways to add texture to your projects. Texture adds variety and 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 defined as positive and negative. The positive space of a design is the filled space in the design-often it is the shapes that make up the design. Negative space is the background. The negative space in design is as important as the positive area.

68

Principles of Design

Some combinations of design elements (line, shape, color, texture and space) work better than others. Here are some guidelines to help you understand why some combinations work and others do not work as well. These guidelines-rhythm, proportion, emphasis, balance, and 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 to 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 and another part or to the whole design. It is a comparison of sizes, shapes, and quantities. For example, the relationship between the vertical and 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 first. There are several ways to create emphasis:

Using a contrasting color. Using a different or unusual line. Making a shape very large or very small. Using a different shape. Using plain background space.

Balance Balance gives a feeling of stability. There 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, and a daisy flower 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 are called informal designs because they suggest movement and spontaneity. Asymmetrical balance is the hardest type of balance to achieve and often takes experimenting or moving elements around until balance is achieved.

Unity When things look right together, you have created unity or harmony. Lines and 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.

69

Honesty of Design Honesty of design refers to three specific areas-media, form, and function. You are being honest with a medium when you are familiar with that medium, use it to its best advantage, and avoid making it look like something else. Clay should not be glazed to look like wood, and wood should not be painted to look like clay bricks. Honesty related to form and 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 flower pot should be designed to complement the flowers and not draw the most attention to the pot.

Ideas and 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, and your own photographs and sketches. Let these inspirations be springboards for your imagination.

Evaluating Design Evaluating your designs and 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'ers, leaders, teachers, and fair judges. There is seldom only one way to improve a design, so don't be surprised if different people have different ideas on how you might change your work. In the end, the decision is yours. Becoming a good designer takes practice. The more you talk about and play with the elements and principles of design, the easier it will be to use them effectively.

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, and function?

Food & Nutrition Special Rules 1. Any exhibit considered lo be a food safety risk or portray a food safely risk will not be

accepted, judged or displayed. 2. All food products/exhibits should be appropriate for human consumption. 3. Food product exhibits must be prepared, baked or cooked using only food grade utensils

and containers. 4. Products that require refrigeration will not be accepted, judged or displayed. Therefore

perishable foods such as those containing cream filling, cream pies,cream cheese frosting, meat or broth, candy including fudge, cheeses, eggs, custards, relish or fruit trays, egg noodles, friendship starters, puddings or those requiring refrigeration, are NOT to be brought to the fair. These items do not hold up well at room temperature and often pose a food safety hazard. Such foods will not be accepted, judged or displayed.

It is to the discretion of the judge to disqualify a food. The reason for this is because: 4-H is the youth outreach program of the Iowa State University

Extension and Outreach responsible for disseminating and teaching research based information. Exhibits that deviate from or can not be supported by current recommended

USDA guidelines create many problems. When unsafe practices are displayed at county or state fair, it implies endorsement from 4-H and Iowa State University.

after August 1, 2019 is acceptable. Current USDA and/or Iowa State University guidelines for home food preservation must be used. Processed honey must include the honey exhibit label.

such as cakes, quick breads, yeast breads, corn bread and pies (2 crust only) -the entire item must be included. Do not cut. For rolls, muffins, cookies, cupcakes, or doughnuts - include 7 on a plate. (After item is judged, they will be sold at the bake sale. A slice or 1 item will be put on a plate for display in your club booth while the majority of the item or the other 6 will go on the bake sale. Dollars raised at the bake sale are used for miscellaneous expenses for the fair.)

72

B. Frostings, glazes, or drizzles are NOT allowed on baked products including (but not limited to) cakes, cookies, bars, yeast breads, and quick breads. (Though most frostings do not pose a food safety hazard ... frosting is messy and does not allow the judge to clearly see the baked product. Webster Co. rule)

C. Bring 2 copies of the recipe. One stays with the exhibit in your booth and the other goes with the bake sale plate.

D. Bake Sale is on Tuesday, July 7 beginning at 11 a.m.
