4-H Static Exhibitor Requirements
The 4-H Static Committee will determine the volunteer requirements for all 4-H static exhibitors. Youth who are

leaders are also required to serve a shift in the static building. Youth will be required to sign up for this shift when
they turn in their Fair Entry Form. No forms accepted without commitment to the required static volunteer duties.
Details about these requirements will be provided as soon as possible. Celebrate Our World Theme: CENTRAL
AMERICA.
4-H Animal Exhibitor Requirements
Youth who are showing animals in the barn (large and small animals except horse and dog) are required to sign
up for at least one duty shift per day in the barn along with a parent. Animal Science leaders are also required to
serve at least one volunteer shift in the barn. These shifts will be scheduled by the barn superintendent. More
information will be provided by the Animal Science Committee as soon as it is available.
Youth in both static and animal science must do required shifts in each area.
General Rules and Guidelines
General Rules and Regulations for the Lincoln County Fair
General rules and regulations for the Lincoln County Fair will be set and enforced by the Fair Management along
with the Lincoln County Fair Board. Please contact the Fair Management or the Lincoln County Fair Board to
obtain a list of their rules and policies.
Animal Welfare Policy
The fitting and showing of livestock are traditional hallmarks of Oregon's fair industry as are rodeos and
horseracing. Each year 4-H and FFA members, and the community, actively participate in competitions involving
cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, llamas, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and
other animals.
The 4-H livestock auction sale at the fair has benefited many students’ college educations, thanks to the
citizens who have invested in their community's young people. As increased urbanization has come to Oregon,
fairs are familiarizing their patrons with animals through the use of petting zoos. This is one of the highlights of a
small youngster's visit to the fair.
Rodeos are as traditional as fairs themselves. They are professionally performed and rate as one of a fair's
most popular spectator events. Animals are trained for this profession and well cared for by the owners.
Considering the importance of animals to Oregon fairs, it shall be the policy of members of the Oregon Fairs
Association (OFA) to treat all animals at the fair in a humane manner. Animals shall be provided clean bedding,
adequate food and water, and fair exhibitors shall keep their animals from harm. It shall further be the policy of
3
Lincoln County Fair 2024 – General Guidelines
OFA members (Lincoln County included) to protect animals from mistreatment by the public and to assure the
safety of fair patrons. All persons in charge of fair activities involving animals shall be made aware of this policy.
General Rules 4-H Exhibits
All 4-H exhibitors and their families are expected to follow the rules given in the fair book and/or respective
category rulebook. In the event there is a discrepancy in rules or additional clarification is needed, the 4-H
Extension Agent shall be consulted for a decision.
ALL 4-H EXHIBITS MUST REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL CLOSING TIME OF FAIR –9:00 P.M. SATURDAY
The right to exhibit is open to all Lincoln County 4-H members who were enrolled in 4-H as of February 15, 2024,
and meet the age requirements below. All entry forms are due in the Extension Office by 5:00 p.m. June 3, 2024.
Classes for all 4-H contests and exhibits are based on the 4-H member's age, determined for this Fair as of
September 1, 2023.
• 4-H Cloverbuds: 5 – 8 years of age on September 1
• JUNIOR: 9 – 11 years of age on September 1
• INTERMEDIATES: 12 – 14 years of age on September 1
• SENIORS: 15 – 19 years of age on September 1
Let it be understood that, in essence, the act of entering an exhibit or contest at this Fair is asking the Fair
management and 4-H staff to secure a qualified judge to place a judgment on the exhibit or performance. It is
therefore courteous to gracefully accept the decision of the judge, realizing that it may conflict with your set of
standards. The judge will decide type, number of awards, and special awards. Every reasonable attempt will be
made to secure highly qualified and conscientious judges. If you feel you are not willing to accept this judgment,
please write "exhibit only" on your entry. THE DECISION OF THE JUDGE IS FINAL. Concerns should be directed
to the 4-H Extension Agent.
A 4-H exhibit must be the work of the 4-H member and completed within the project year. 4-H members can
exhibit a static project at county fair even if they are not entered into the computer under that “code” but are not
able to go to the state fair.
4-H exhibits at the Lincoln County Fair are entered and displayed at the risk of the exhibitor. The 4-H
Department and Lincoln County Fair cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage due to the conditions
imposed by large crowds, the arrangement of the building in which displays are housed and the great number of
exhibits. Every exhibitor shall indemnify the County Fair and 4-H Department for any claims for damage to
persons or property caused by them or their exhibits. 4-Her's who have exhibits of great sentimental and/or
monetary value should carefully consider whether such exhibits should be exposed to the hazards of the fair.
4-H Animal Exhibit Placement Deadlines
4-H Livestock and Small Animals should arrive at the fairgrounds on Wednesday, July 3 between 9:00am and
5:00pm. Market animal weigh in will take place at 6:00pm on Wednesday. See the schedule on the inside front
cover for judging times. Orders will be determined at the show.
4-H Non-Animal Exhibit Placement Deadlines
4-H'ers must bring their non-perishable exhibits to the 4-H exhibit building (Floral Building) on July 1 between
12:00pm and 6:00pm. Only perishable exhibits can be delivered on July 2 from 9:00am-9:45am. All exhibits
should be plainly marked with exhibitor's name, address, phone, and 4-H Club in addition to the required
information cards and entry documentation (see specific categories for details). Judging will take place starting at
11am on July 2. Youth are encouraged to participate in judging and will be able to sign up for an approximate
judging time when they turn in their exhibits.
4-H Sportsmanship
4-H Sportsmanship Contests help teach club members to be courteous, neat and orderly and to properly care for
their animals. The Animal Science Committee and Barn Superintendent in conjunction with the 4-H Agent will
determine appropriate Sportsmanship contests during the fair. Daily and overall awards may be available.

White award groups according to quality:
Blue – an exhibit that is excellent and meets the established standards for the class
Red – an exhibit that is good but has room for improvement
White – an exhibit that meets the requirements of the class but shows need for considerable
improvement
Green – display only
If an exhibit does not meet the requirements of the class, it will receive a display only ribbon.
2. Champion (Champion, Reserve Champion) ribbons may be awarded in all animal classes where two or
more blue ribbon exhibits are judged together or at judges' discretion.
Reserve Champion, Champion, and Medallions will be selected in each class only when the judge deems
there are entries that meet those standards. See the animal science rules for specific animal science
championships. See the horse rules for medallion classes.

6
Lincoln County Fair 2024 – General Guidelines
Rules and Guidelines for Master Showmanship Competition
1. The Showmanship Champion of each of the above animal classes (large or small) will participate in
Master Showmanship, except for Beef and Goat, which have multiple showmanship classes (specifically
dairy and beef cattle, and dairy, meat, pygmy, pack, and fiber goats).
2. Beef and Goat participants will be selected based on a “call-back” of all Showmanship Champions
(separately for each age division) from which the judge will select the Master Showmanship participant.
3. Only youth awarded Showmanship Champion in their given animal class (or selected from beef and goat
call-backs) will be eligible to participate in Master Showmanship.
4. Even if a youth is the only competitor in a given animal class, they may participate in Master
Showmanship provided they receive the Champion designation from the judge.
5. Showmanship Champions are awarded at the discretion of the judge. If the judge does not deem any
youth in a particular showmanship category worthy of a Champion ribbon, they are NOT required to
designate a Champion. Therefore, if no Champion ribbon is awarded by the judge in an age division,
there will be no Master Showmanship competitor for that animal.
6. In the event a single youth is Champion of more than one class, the youth can decide which animal they
choose to participate within the Master Showmanship event. The Reserve Champion(s), or other
designee of the other species will act as participants (not competitors) using their animal to represent
those species in the competition.
7. Master Showmanship will include an animal from each category provided there is an animal of each type
available in the barn. In the event no youth qualifies with a particular animal, the Barn Superintendent will
select a substitute animal and youth handler to participate in the Master Showmanship event (with first
option going to Reserve Champions). For example, if there is no swine Champion, the Barn
Superintendent will select a swine and youth handler to be used in the Large Animal Master
Showmanship competition. This substitute youth is only a participant and is not eligible for any awards.
8. The Master Showmanship competitions will be held regardless of the number of qualifying participants.
Even if only one youth qualifies in a given age division, that youth may still compete in Master
Showmanship by showing her/his knowledge of the available substitute animals. If the judge deems the
performance to be of sufficient quality, that youth may receive recognition as the Master Showman in that
class and age division.
9. All Master Showmanship participants (including substitutes) must complete the Breed/Showman
Questionnaire about their animal. This form (from the 4-H Office) provides information about the animal
species’ characteristics and showmanship techniques. This information will be shared with all participants
in the appropriate Master Showmanship class (large or small animal) to ensure pertinent information is
available to all participants and to promote educational opportunities between youth in different project
areas.
10. All Master Showmanship participants (excluding those showing substitute animals) will receive a
medallion as recognition.
11. The Master Showman of each age division (junior, intermediate, senior) will receive a Master Showman
belt buckle.
12. Novice members do not qualify for Master Showmanship.
13. Anyone being coached from the sidelines can be disqualified by the judge, the 4-H Superintendent and/or
Extension Agent.
4-H Market Animal Auction

1. Provide an outlet for market animals raised as 4-H projects.

livestock show, are not eligible for exhibition or sale.
20. Consignment of livestock will be to the Newport Rotary Club acting as the Lincoln County Market Auction
Committee and a maximum 6% sales commission will be deducted to offset the cost of conducting the
sale. Payment will be required at the conclusion of the sale.

estimated by the judge, it will be the purchaser's responsibility to accept the carcass as graded.
22. If the animal is condemned in the slaughter process (because of disease, use of medication, infection,
etc.) it is the seller's (4-H member's) responsibility to absorb the loss.
23. Artificial coloring of any animal or any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects of
conformation in animals such as lifting or filling under the skin will be considered as fraud and deception.
All animals giving evidence of such treatment before or after slaughter will result in the owner being
barred from future shows and all awards and sale proceeds being withheld from current show.
24. All bids will be taken by the pound. Auctioneer's sale ticket is the official and final price of the animal sold.
Transfer of ownership of market animals takes place at the time of sale when auctioneer cries, "Sold".
However, members retain responsibility of care and feeding of animals until they are transported to
slaughter.
25. Animals are offered for sale with no guarantee that there will be a buyer for every animal.
26. No 'For Sale' signs may be posted until the auction is completed.

Cloverbuds (ages 5-8)
This is an opportunity for 4-H members ages 5 to 8 to share their experiences with the community. It is
meant to reflect collaborative rather than competitive learning, provide opportunities for children to
experience success with an emphasis on the learning process.
Each display will be reviewed on its own merit with no comparison to 4-H entries from older youth. Each
member will be recognized with a participation ribbon.
Each club may display one of the following:

Companion Pets & Exotics
Read Animal Science Rules and Health Requirements.
All animals must be in good health. Animals with visible injuries, external parasites, or displaying signs of
disease will not be shown and excused. Exhibitors showing cats must bring current vaccination records to
show cat is up-to-date on rabies and feline distemper (panleukoponia) vaccine.
All Exotics and Pets will be presented to the small animal judge during the small animal show. Members
must provide their own cage/aquarium that allows exhibitor access to the animal. It must also be escape
proof so the animal can be handled for the judge if appropriate and/or left in their environment during
judging. Exhibitors are responsible for any needs to show their animal—carpet square, gloves, etc. It may
also be appropriate for animals to have leashes, collars, strings tied, etc. so no loss occurs in an unusual
environment—this will be the choice of the exhibitor and there will be no points off for securing the animal
humanely.
Exhibitors will be asked a variety of questions regarding their animal, its care, how they came to own it,
etc. Judging criteria will be based on member’s knowledge, interview presence, cleanliness and healthy
appearance of animal, and members comfort showing and explaining their animal.
