4-H Fair participation is designed for youth to be judged against a standard of excellence. This standard determines whether the youth earns a blue, red or white ribbon.
Beyond the standards, youth compete against each other for top awards. The top competitors are listed below, but it is important to note that there are many more 4-Hers who went and worked hard and did well who were not recognized with top awards.
4-H youth winning top awards from the Conrad and Brady area are as follows:
