"New" Record Book Proceedures-2011-2012

Effective October 1, 2011, the Kitsap County Record Book procedures will be as follows:

1. Fair Qualifications:

To qualify for County Fair, members will present their books to their club leader by June 30th, who will approve the member's eligibility for Fair, based on the check-list below.

a. The 5-point check-off form (see attachment) will be filled out for each member by the leader, signed by the leader, and put inside the front cover of the record book. The 5 points covered are:

• Project Record
• Project Journal
• Project Highlights
• Project Financial Summary or add sheets
• Permanent Record

b. The member retains the record book.

c. Leader provides a list to the 4-H office of members who have met this requirement (via email by July 1st). This level of record book participation is also required for end-of-year completion.

d. There is no County Fair contest for record books. Record books are not judged; they do not receive ribbons, special awards, or premium points.

1. Fair Display:

Some record books will be on display at County Fair, in the President's Hall, on a first-come first-served basis. The first 50 books turned in for that purpose will be displayed. Members must bring their books to fair. In extenuating circumstances, permission may be given in advance for another person to bring the book. Books will be turned in during the same time-frame as still life entries are made at the President's Hall. The time will be announced.

1. Kitsap County Fair Procedures:

All exhibitors' books will be brought to Kitsap County Fair for evaluation by the Record Book Committee during the Fair.

a. When County Fair exhibits are turned in, the superintendent of each barn will collect record books from all exhibitors.  The record book will be turned into the superintendent of the member's primary project. President's Hall exhibitors are only required to turn in record books for a project if they have attended six or more meetings for that project during the current 4-H year.

b. Each superintendent will make a list of all exhibitors, checking off names as their books are turned in.

c. Record books not displayed in Presidents Hall will be stored in each barn or building.

d. During Kitsap County Fair a record book committee will visit every barn or building to review record books. Record books will be reviewed to determine their completeness and up-to-date as of Fair, relative to the five points listed above. This is a requirement for State Fair.  The superintendent of each barn will provide the list of exhibitors (item 3. b) to the record book committee when they come to the barn for record book check. Record Book Committee provides a list of members meeting this record book requirement to 4-H office.

1. End of Year Best Record Book Contest

This contest remains unchanged, and will be based on the completeness of all sections of the record book, through County and State Fairs, not just the 5 points listed above. Candidates for "Best Record Book" will be turned in to the office at the same time as end-of-year awards applications, and will be judged by trained record book judges.
