Clothing and Textile Science
The Ohio 4-H clothing program helps develop knowledge, skills, and understanding about clothing
appearance, purchasing, and construction. Projects are available for males and females with all levels of experience.
Please refer to the individual project member guides for detailed information and consult your county Extension office
for specific requirements related to local and state evaluation opportunities.
Multiple Projects: 4-H members who take more than one clothing project must complete separate learning
experiences related to each, including creating a separate, complete, Total Look outfit for each clothing project.
Using items from two or more projects will not be considered as a completion of either project during evaluation.
Repeating Projects: Members may repeat any project except Designed by Me and Sundresses and
Jumpers. Members who repeat clothing projects should attempt new challenges each year such as doing more
advanced experiments and surveys and sewing.
Additional Opportunities: The County Fashion Board works to promote the sewing and clothing program through
various events and activities. Youth work closely with adult volunteers to assist in the planning of clinics, workshops,
project judging and the County Style Revue. Youth must have taken a clothing project for at least 2 years and be in
at least 8th Grade to apply. Applications are due March 15.

4. Members will meet with a judge who will ask questions about the project, look over the project, and review
the project book.
5. After being judged, members can change out of their projects, and are free to go.

Style Revue
Style Revue is held Saturday evening of judging at 7:00 p.m. at the Ashtabula Towne Square. ALL youth are
expected to attend both Judging and the Style Revue. Style Revue participation is essential in order to be considered
for State Fair Competition.
- Registration will begin at 6:15 p.m. Lineup will begin at 6:45 p.m. There will be dressing rooms
available. The order of classes will be available at judging.
- When you arrive, check in at the table. You will be given a number to pin on your outfit.
- Proceed to the changing area to change.
- You will be modeling on the stage. If you arrive early, you will have an opportunity to go on stage and
practice before 6:45 p.m. There will also be the opportunity to practice modeling during project judging.
- Stay in your outfit until the winners from your class are called. If you are a finalist, you will proceed to
the stage to get a ribbon and for the judges to have one last look. Afterwards, you will have a picture
taken (if you are a finalist). Then you may change out of your outfit.
State Fair Finalists will be posted on the Ashtabula County web site the following week. Go to
http://ashtabula.osu.edu and click on the State Fair Qualifiers link and check out the spreadsheet with the winner’s

State Fair representatives and Best of Class winners will be announced at Fair Style Revue.
Judging Procedures:
1. Finalists - Must have a 90% or above project judging grade. Outfits selected are the most
outstanding projects in each class. Finalists will receive a finalist ribbon. Members that have

complicated.
2. Best of Class Winners - Must be a finalist. One winner is chosen from each class and will receive
a medallion.
3. State Fair Representatives - Must be a Best of Class/Delegate or Alternate. All projects are
eligible. Only one outfit is picked in each category. If the Best in Class is not chosen in any class,
no one else in that class may be chosen as a State Fair representative. Members are eligible to be
State Fair winners in more than one category, but only if one of those categories is in the morning
competition and the other is in the afternoon competition. Winners will be notified as soon as
possible after Style Revue and will receive a State Fair Participant rosette.
Ribbons

Page 8 of 15Food and Nutrition
The Ohio 4-H Food and Nutrition program helps develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of nutrition, menu
planning, safe food handling, kitchen equipment safety, consumer knowledge, fitness, meal and time
management, and food and nutrition-related careers. Please consult your county Extension office for specific
requirements related to local and state evaluation opportunities.
All Ohio 4-H food and nutrition projects use MyPlate, which incorporates current USDA recommendations about
eating and exercise. Depending on a project book’s publication date, it may refer instead to the older MyPyramid
or Food Guide Pyramid, but 4-H members should still know the MyPlate recommendations. For information
about MyPlate, go to www.choosemyplate.gov.

Food and Nutrition Project Evaluation Guidelines
• The Skills Station will be where the participant will apply knowledge learned from the MyPlate information that can
be found in their book, their county 4-H office, or online at www.choosemyplate.gov. The website is an extensive
review of the information to study to increase their knowledge.
• The Interview station allows the participant to answer questions taken directly from their specific project book. This
allows the participant to share information they learned from their project related to food and nutrition.
• The Portfolio is project specific and is used to enhance a conversation between the member and a judge about
activities the member completed within the project. The participant will be responsible for bringing a 3-pronged folder
or binder that includes 8 ½” x 11” pages. Participants will create a maximum of one page (one-sided only) per
“activity area” or “interest area” as designated in the front of their project books. Ideas for these pages include
journaling, a timeline, and photos taken during their project, or any other format that would illustrate the work and
knowledge of the participant. Each page could be different or can be a combination of styles allowing the 4-H’er to
Page 11 of 15reflect on their learning experience. There will be no points for scrapbooking style. The portfolio is to be
completed prior to arriving at the state fair. (See the document titled “Portfolio Interest Areas.”)
• Portfolios are judged based on the verbal presentation, organization of the material in the portfolio, inclusion of their
efforts in required “Activity or Interest” area pages, and communication with the judge describing their portfolio.
• The member will present the portfolio to the judge and have the opportunity to explain their active involvement in
their project.
• The member’s project book may not be a part of their portfolio.
