National 4-H Week General Information
National 4-H Week takes place annually in the month of October and its purpose is to educate the public about 4-H and to encourage youth to consider joining a local 4-H Club. Fresno County gets into the spirit by sponsoring an annual “Window Display Contest”. Clubs may set up a window display at a local business, create a booth or a poster that promotes 4-H in Fresno County. Clubs also have the option of creating a “digital display” to promote 4-H and encourage new membership. Clubs submit a photo of their entry and they are judged with this scoring guide. Points are awarded for accessibility, creativity, readability, ease of understanding message, and includes how to get more information about 4-H. The top three entries selected each receive a cash prize for their club.
