1. GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE - 4-H Councils will act as a Grievance Committee who will delegate power to the Committee of Division superintendents to make necessary decisions at County Fair show time. Their decisions will be final. All grievance thereafter will be presented in writing and person at the first meeting of the 4-H Council following the Fair. The suggested Superintendent’s Committees are as follows:
a. LIVESTOCK - Supt. of Beef, Sheep, Swine, Dairy, Goats, Horse and Small Animals
b. HOME ECONOMICS, AGRICULTURE, POSTERS AND OTHERS - Entry Superintendent and Display Superintendent.
2. 4-H and FFA members are eligible to compete in the County Fair of the county where they are a 4-H or FFA member. Any exception or modifications of this rule must be approved by the respective 4-H Council.
3. 4-H eligibility is determined based on 4-H age. (The age of the member on December 31st of the previous year). The first year of eligibility for participation in the 4-H clover kids program is the 4-H age of 5. The first year of eligibility for the regular 4-H program is the 4-H age of 8, while the last year of eligibility is the 4-H age of 18. Exhibits must be from the current year’s 4-H or FFA projects.
4. Clover Kids - Any exhibitor with a 4-H age of 5, 6, or 7 during the current calendar year is eligible to become a Clover Kid member of the county 4-H program. It is strongly suggested that these Clover Kid members enroll in only one or two projects.
Animals and animal subject matter can contribute to Clover Kids objectives, provided the following parameters are met; however, for safety, liability, and competitive reasons often associated with livestock shows, some restrictions are necessary to maintain Clover Kids program objectives. The Clover Kids program will be developmentally appropriate and involve the following components:
21
§ Encourage involvement of parent or significant adult
§ Focused on self-esteem and provide positive feedback
§ Sharing through cooperative learning
§ Emphasizing fun and success of every child
§ Recognizes individuals for participation
§ Recognition and incentives are to be presented without rank or placing.
