2012 State 4-H Field Day

May 26, 2012 at UC Davis

Exhibit and Display Application

Due by email April 2, 2012

Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at the 2012 California State 4-H Field Day, held Saturday, May 26, 2012 near Wellman and Hart Halls. Over 1,000 4-H members and volunteers participated in the 2011 State 4-H Field Day and we expect a similar number in 2012!

The State 4-H Field Day consists of several contests, including State 4-H Presentation Day (public speaking), State 4-H Fashion Revue, State 4-H Plant Science Contest, and State 4-H Interview Contest, as well as a number of non-competitive displays, activities, and hands-on interactive exhibits.

Educational displays constitute a unique aspect of the State 4-H Field Day. These exhibits are a great opportunity to share knowledge, interact with youth and adults, and engage people in new activities. Possibilities for displays include hands-on activities, community service crafts, informative booths, etc.

Exhibits are also being sought for the 2012 thematic focuses:

·  Science, Engineering and Technology (SET): 4-H engages youth in learning about the natural world by using science skills. This year’s SET emphasis is on renewable energy: sunlight, wind, rain, tides, water, and geothermal heat.

·  Military Youth: “Speak Out for Military Kids” is a special project between the Department of Defense and 4-H. This year’s focus is generating community awareness of issues faced by military youth when a parent is in the deployment cycle.

·  Healthy Living: 4-H provides youth with opportunities that will increase the knowledge, skills and adoption of healthy habits. This year’s focus area is healthy food.

Setup: We are able to provide tables and chairs. Most tables will be shaded. You will need to bring any additional equipment you require, such as EZ-ups, tablecloths, power cords, etc. We suggest you arrive between 7:00-8:00AM and plan to stay until 4:00PM. Parking is free on weekends, and unloading permits are available upon request. Access to power is available.

Enclosed you will find the exhibit proposal form, which must be submitted in order to stage a display. Please complete the enclosed form and return it to the California State 4-H Office () by April 2, 2012. Confirmation of receipt will be sent to presenters on or before April 16, 2012.
