Photo IDs for Junior Fair Exhibitors & Advisors...

All 4-H/FFA Advisors and Junior Fair Exhibitors WITH LAST NAMES BEGINNING WITH “N” – “Z” are asked to have a photo taken during 2012 (Those with last names A – M will have their photo taken in 2013).    Please keep in mind that individuals who are attending a QA or Horse Safety & Ethics program in order to meet an exhibit requirement, may not have their photo taken during the actual program. It must be taken prior to or after attending the program.  Each Junior Fair exhibitor and club / chapter advisor will be issued a new ID card each year.  ID cards will be dated and color-coded so that they are only valid during the year in which they are issued.  Click here for a flyer with dates and locations for photo opportunities
