Today was a very exciting day. It is the day that I get to take my Club Leadership 2 project to the state fair. When I got there, I had to check in. I was the first person that got to present my project. At state fair, their judging circle is a lot bigger than the one we have at our county fair. I have been to state fair before, but every time I go, it is a whole new experience.
Once I got checked in, I headed into the circle. Then we had to wait until our number was pulled up. I was J-303. When they got to my number, I set my board on the table and I put the binder on the table. Then I shook the judge's hand. Once I sat down, I started my speech. I only had seven minutes to present my project. Then the judge would ask about my project and what extras I did to extend past the project. After I was done, the judge handed me my score sheet and a participation ribbon. Unfortunately, before I left the judging circle I saw that I got docked points because I was nervous. So at that time I knew that I was not in the running for the top 20% or the clock trophy. Out of every group, they give the top 20% a ribbon and whoever is the winner, they give them a clock trophy. My judging was at 1:00 p.m. and awards were not until 4:30 p.m. so I had time to spend walking around the state fair. I walked around the fair grounds with my family until the awards. Then, when it was time to come back for the awards, we went back to the 4-H building. All of the 4-Her's were then called back into the circle to sit down. Then they started the awards for each of the groups. When they came upon my group, they called the two people who were in the top 20%. I was not called, therefor I was not in the running for the clock trophy. In the end, I was glad that I had the experience at the state fair and I will definitely use this as a learning experience for the future.
