2026 Roosevelt County Fair 4-H Indoor Exhibits Awards
Across the county, 4-H members each year complete their yearly indoor projects with conference judging exhibits. The 4-H interview judging is an opportunity for 4-H members to visit with the judges about their static exhibits and share their trials and lessons they learned. Each interview or conversation with the judge was held on Thursday, Aug. 6, at the fairgrounds in Culbertson.
Individuals are awarded ribbons for their exhibits, while some went above the judge’s expectations and received a Judge’s Choice ribbon.
