Iowa Youth Code of Ethics

Youth are expected to be sincere, honest and act in sportsmanlike ways at all times. Youth represent the

entire program and their behavior reects on their parents, leaders, club and the entire youth program.

All adults involved with the youth program, leaders as well as parents, are expected to set positive

examples and serve as positive role models by what they say and do. Any youth who breaks the code

of ethics or allows another person (adult or peer) to talk them into violating the code of ethics agrees

to forfeit all prizes, awards and premiums. The youth may also be prohibited from exhibiting at this and

future exhibitions including the Iowa State Fair and other county, state, or regional exhibitions.

Youth agree to follow these guidelines:

1. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age and physical and mental development. This includes

research and writing of exhibit explanations, preparing exhibits (such as sewing, cooking, renish-

ing, etc.), care and grooming of animals, etc. Adult assistance should help guide and support me,

not do it for me.

2. All exhibits will be a true representation of my work. Any attempt to take credit for other’s work,

alter the conformation of animals, or alter their performance is prohibited. Copyright violation or

allowing others to complete your exhibit is considered misrepresentation and is prohibited.

3. I will treat all people and animals with respect. I will provide appropriate care for animals.

4. I will present exhibits that are safe for consumption. All food exhibits will be safe to exhibit and for

judges to evaluate. Other exhibits will be safe for judges to evaluate and for exhibition.

5. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for consum-

ers, shall have met all withdrawal times for all medications, and be free of violative drug residue.

6. If any animal requires medical treatment while at the fair or exhibition, only Ocial Fair Veterinar-

ian may administer the treatment. All medications that are administered shall be done according to

the label instructions of the medication used.

WOODBURY COUNTY FAIR

7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including medica-

• What steps did you take to learn or do this?

• What were the most important things you learned?

Complete information on what the 4-H’er needs to do to prepare their exhibits for fair is on the following

website: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/exhibit-tip-sheets.

5. Exhibits in Home Improvement, Visual Arts, Clothing & Fashion, Sewing & Needle Arts will need to

elements and/or art principles that the 4-H’er must include in their write-up/goals for visual arts, home

improvement, and clothing and fashion, and sewing/needle arts. See Publication, Design Exploring the

Elements and Principles at: https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/464 (publication date 02/2019).

Learning about Elements of Design and Principles of Design will increase your understanding

of how and why some things work together and some simply don’t look right.

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 your project.

The elements of design are: line, shape, color, texture and space.

Principles of Design

Some combinations of design elements (line, shape, color, texture and space) work better than others.

Principles of Design help you understand why some combinations work.

The Principles of Design are: Rhythm, proportion, emphasis, balance and unity.

Your project may only have one element of design, or it could include several along with the principles

of design. Take a look at your project and ask yourself or others what do you see in your project? The

design elements and art principles publications give some great examples that you could use in your

project write-up.

Elements and Principle of Design Publication available at the Extension store at

https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/464

Clothing Elements and Principles of Design publication can be found at

https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/262

Home Improvement Elements and Principles of Design publication can be found at

https://store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/12945

Suggestion: you may want to make bullet points, or use bold print, in your write-up so that the

4-H judge can easily nd your elements of design and art principles.

7. If the exhibitor chooses a display to illustrate what was learned:

• Posters may not exceed 24” x 36” in size. (See Classes 10490 Thrifty Meal Challenge and 10530

4-H Poster Communications for smaller requirements.)

• Chart boards, graph boards, project presentation boards, model displays, etc., may not exceed 48” x

48” in size. Maximum size is determined by measuring the at (unfolded) dimensions.

• Display boxes may not exceed 28” x 22” in height or width and 12” in depth.

appearance and design. Exhibitors will receive written evaluation comments on the exhibits and a blue,

red, or white or an Iowa State Fair exhibitor’s ribbon. Refer to exhibit class evaluation for detailed evalu-

ation criteria in each class.

WOODBURY COUNTY FAIR

Dale was born on the family farm northwest

of Anthon, where he grew up in a family of

seven boys and three girls. As a young

teenager he discontinued his education to

help his dad with farming, when no other

help was available during WWII. From

that experience, he knew he wanted his

lifetime career to be a farmer.

When the Wolf Creek Progressors 4-H

Club was organized, he became a charter

member. He was elected president of the

Woodbury County Boys 4-H Club in 1949.

Always a 4-H’er at heart, he later served

his club as their leader.

Dedication

Of the 2023 Woodbury County Fairbook

He had just begun farming when “Uncle Sam” said I want you and drafted Dale

into the army during the Korean conict. He trained in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO and

Ft. Bliss, TX before being sent to Germany.

With 4-H still in his mind, he served on the county fair board for 23 years, part

of the time as president of the board. He secured & helped move several of the

buildings to the Old Town and built the boardwalk with the help of others.

Dale and his wife Virginia spent over 70 years together farming and raising their

family before Dale passed away January 2, 2022. A bench in Old Town is a

memorial to Dale from his family and friends.
