Window WOWed
This was a new contest for the District beginning in 2011. The idea is for teams of up to five (5)
members of any age to design a window display using merchandizing and marketing techniques to
“market” fashion merchandise and products. Guidelines follow.
Display area is 8 feet long, 8 feet high, and 30 inches wide. One 8 foot table will be provided.
Two 8 feet lattice panels may be available for use (depending on number of entries).
Display can start from the table or from the floor.
Creativity is encouraged but display should coordinate
with the theme. Teams must provide everything they
use in the display.
4-H must be incorporated into the display.
Participants will have an hour and 30 minutes to
complete the display.
All teams will start and stop simultaneously.
Theme: Be True to Who You Are (Don’t forget to incorporate 4-H in the theme)
TAPS, TASSELS and TACKS:
SHOE FUN
Decorate a shoe and bring to the Showcase. Judging will
be based on creativity, originality and workmanship.
Decorations may be purchased or handmade. No entry to
exceed 24” X 24” X 24”.
> This is not a team event.
> Theme: Add some Clover to Your 4H Project Style! (Don’t forget to incorporate 4-H in the theme)
Incorporate the best parts of your favorite project into your shoe decorations! Are you in a fashion project? Think rickrack and buttons! Are you in a nutrition project? Try food or cooking utensils. Sport fishing? Throw on some lures and fish tack! Photographer? Add some film or photos.

The Dallas County 4-H Livestock Project Coalition is excited to announce the 1st Annual North Texas 4-H Cluck Up, to be hosted in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday, February 23, 2013 at the District IV Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Service Center.
This educational event aims to enhance youth’s poultry showmanship skills and teach youth about poultry bio-security measures, feeding and housing requirements and breed identification. In addition, youth will have the opportunity to conduct a necropsy, so they can learn how to identify possible diseases within their flock. See attached Flyer for more info!
