Things to Consider:

Class 12: Tabletop Exhibits

A.  Tabletop exhibits may be developed from any of the 4-H demonstration categories listed in the Florida 4-H Events and Activities Handbook. Copies of this book are available from your club leader or local county extension office.

B.  Tabletop exhibits must be free standing, able to withstand humidity, breezes, cold, and warm weather, and should measure a MINIMUM of 28” wide x 22” high and a MAXIMUM of 36” wide x 36” high.

C.  Members are not required to purchase a commercial tri-fold backboard (available from office or school supply stores) for their tabletop exhibit. Members may make their own backboard out of a large cardboard box as long as it is consistent with the measurements given in line B, above. Foam core and corrugated plastic is recommended because of its’ durability. Poster or mat board will warp with humidity.

D. Tabletop exhibits will be judged based on effectiveness of message, quality of construction and general appearance, accuracy and appeal of information presented, and creativity.
