Locals get state fair honors

Indiana State Fair officials have released the first group of results from judging of 4-H projects at the state fair.

The initial group of results includes non-livestock projects and preliminary fashion revue judging.

In the 2013 state fair fashion revue, two Huntington County 4-H'ers were selected to participate in the finals on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 1 p.m. Madison Phillips will compete in the separates category, and Jessie Earhart will compete in the formal wear category.
A preliminary competition was held in which the top 15 in each of six categories were selected to advance to the finals on Aug. 10. The finals will be held in Farm Bureau building at the state fairgrounds, in Indianapolis.

In other projects, judges select one sweepstakes winner per project, recognized as the overall best entry in that category. Judges also present merit awards to exhibits of exceptional quality; blue awards for exhibits that are complete and well done; red ribbons to projects that meet requirements and display average quality work; white ribbons to those below that standard; and green ribbons that do not meet standards.
