More than 30 4-H presenters from the Carroll County Fair were selected to bring their static exhibits or presentation to the Iowa State Fair for display. Judges chose only eight percent of the 392 exhibits showcased during last month’s fair in Coon Rapids. The selected entries include two communications presentations, five animal, ag, and natural resources displays, 11 creative arts exhibits, five family and computer sciences projects, two personal development entries, and six exhibits centered on science, engineering, and technology. Entries were judged at the conference level based on goals, workmanship, creativity, and overall learning. The Iowa State Fair opens Thursday, Aug. 11 in Des Moines and runs through Aug. 21.
