Local 4-H members from throughout the county earned the opportunity to send their projects to the Colorado State Fair by being first in their division and age group at the Montezuma County Fair. At State Fair it is assumed every entry in the 4-H divisions are blue ribbon exhibits. Champion is awarded to first place, Reserve Champion to second place. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion are for the entire category. Consequently, only the top 10 blues in a class are placed, and the remaining exhibits receive a state fair qualifier ribbon. All of the members are to be congratulated for all their accomplishments.
