This is an event for showmanship and communication! Any member, including primary, who likes to have their talents, critical thinking skills, and verbal communication challenged. This event does not include livestock animals however, the skills learned in all 4-H projects are universal. Entries can be individual or a two-member team display.

This event meets the requirements outlined in the Glenn County 4-H Fair Exhibition Requirements for ABA Exhibitors.

Food Fiesta Category

Members can choose a recipe to prepare and present to a panel of evaluators.  The two categories are Traditional Table Display Food Entry or Local Commodity Food Entry: Rice, Almonds, Beef, Walnuts, Olives, Dairy, Oranges or Honey. You can choose to create a Main Dish, Side Dish or Dessert. The member then, will set up their area within their chosen theme that highlights their dish.

Creative Arts & Skills Category

Members can submit projects or skills completed from 4-H ABA projects during the current 2022-2023 program year. It is also a way to teach others about skills you have learned by making a display board or giving a demonstration about your ABA projects such as: archery, dummy roping, sewing, or any other projects that are anything but animals.

ABA Judging

Members will judge a variety of 4-H ABA topics within their age division. Judging is a process to help 4-H members grow in the abilities to think, reason, and make logical and scientific judgments. The member would then present their reasons to an evaluator.
