Patrick will be working with the volunteer program, youth adult partnership and leadership. We are excited about having Patrick on board. Alice Ann Moore WOOL AND WOOLLIES REVUE COMPETITION SCHEDULED FOR AREA FAIRS This fall boys and girls will have the opportunity to participate in the Wool and Woollies Revue at several area fairs across the state. This is an excellent opportunity for your 4-H members enrolled in clothing, fashion revue and livestock projects; but would certainly not be limited to these individuals only. Contestants need not be 4-H members, but must be under 21 years of age as of January 1, 2003. During the competition, entrants must lead a registered ewe which has been fitted and trained to show at halter. The ewe does not have to be owned by the entrant, and the show management will be more than glad to help make arrangements for your 4-H members to find a ewe to lead. The entrant must wear a garment made of wool or a wool blend. The garment does not have to be constructed by the entrant. Contestants are divided into classes according to their age. Classes vary from contest to contest. You should check the fair catalogues for specific details. The following standards are used when judging the classes: entrant’s garment (40%); poise and appearance (30%); and control and presentation of the animal (30%). A special class is offered in the Wool and Woollies Revue at the Tennessee Valley Fair and Tennessee State Fair. Contestants under six years of age as of January 1, 2003, will compete in a pairs competition with an older partner. A class for adults will be held at the Appalachian Fair and the Tennessee State Fair giving parents, leaders and even agents an opportunity to participate. The Wool and Woollies Revue has been a very popular activity across the state. We hope you will encourage your 4-H members to participate.

Entry forms for the Appalachian, Tennessee Valley, Tennessee State and Mid-South fairs are also available on the Tennessee 4-H Forms page at www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/forms&materials/. Steve Sutton THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Integrity has no need of rules.
