I wanna know, how many of you all out here right now have never been to a pig race before? I'm
gonna start off by tellin' you rookies a little bit about pig racing!"
If you've never been to a pig race, you're in for a real treat! Swifty and his friends don't do it for the

Swifty Swine travels all over the United States, bringing this unique form of family entertainment to their fans.

Ben Franklin
at the Freeborn County Fair
Have you ever wanted to time travel back to 1776? Have you ever wondered why the founding fathers felt so
passionate about breaking away from England? What would possess them to make such a drastic move? Here
is your opportunity to ask those questions. We present to you, Benjamin Franklin. A man who was smack dab
in the middle of the ruckus that produced the amazing country we call home.
Benjamin was the renaissance man of his time. Printer, Statesman, Family man, Inventor, Community minded,
Musician, Author and Poet. Time was his to fill and fill it he did. We still reap the benefits of his genius.
Chuck Molenda, gives you Benjamin Franklin in the flesh. He does not give you a long dry speech. But,
responds to your requests for what interests you. He will gladly tell you about the ladies in Benjamin’s life,
starting with his wife, Deborah. He can tell you about his businesses and printing concerns. What would you
like to know? Come by, take a seat, and enjoy your visit with Benjamin Franklin. By the way, Benjamin’s wife
Deborah will also be present, so that you can get her side of the story too.
Ben Franklin was born January 1706 in Boston. As a young boy he
worked on a New England newspaper, he later went to Philadelphia as
a printer. Ben Married Deborah Read in 1773. Ben was an inventor and
is best known for his kite theory of electricity. Ben was active in helping
American gain their independence from England and helped draft the
Declaration of Independence.
Log Cabin at the
Come to the Freeborn County Fair and watch a log cabin built on
the grounds. During the six days of the fair Mr. Bruce Langseth
will construct a log cabin using hand tools and original half dovetail construction techniques.
Anyone wishing to learn the art of cabin building or just to watch
is welcome to come and join in. Mr. Langseth will give a hands on
log home building class if people are interested.

Requirements:
- Demonstration / Illustrated Presentations may be related to any project
that the member is enrolled in or to any area of interest or expertise
the 4-Her has. Presentations may be an individual or a two-person
team. Individual presentations shall not exceed 15 minutes in length
and team presentations should not exceed 25 minutes in length.
- Demonstrations are an oral presentation that includes actually demonstrating the hands-on steps required to accomplish a task or process.
This most often includes the use of physical objects and actual doing or showing. For example, a demonstration could involve using
bedding plants, potting soil and related items to demonstrate how to
plant a flower pot. At the end of the Demonstration there should be
something of a "finished product". Demonstrations may also include
the use of supporting visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies. Supporting visuals can include technology based options
like presentation software (i.e. MS PowerPoint). However, the focus
of the Demonstration should be on the "doing", not the supporting
visuals.
- Illustrated Presentations are an oral presentation that presents an idea,
concept, viewpoint or experience in an educational or informative
format. For example, an Illustrated Presentation could be a report on
leadership lessons learned through a trip to Washington DC or an educational presentation that explores sustainable energy options. Illustrated Presentations most often consist of interaction with supporting
visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies. Supporting visuals can include technology based options like presentation software
(i.e. MS PowerPoint). Supporting visuals may include tangible items,
but generally little or no activity takes place with the item.
- Youth in Action presentations are interactive, continuous presentations
that are approximately 45 - 50 minutes in length. Topics selected for
a Youth in Action demonstration may be related to a project in which
the member is enrolled or to any other area of interest or expertise the
member has. Involving the audience in the process is the primary
focus of Youth in Action and constitutes a major portion of the evaluation results.

Grades 9+
P - 480 - 2
Grades 6-8
P - 480 - 3
Grades 3-5
Purpose:
Youth Leadership is a project area that requires the member to discover their skills and then develop those skills and share them with
others. This might happen individually or with a group.
Guidelines:
Taking charge, leading a service project, and sharing the steps from
beginning to end would be one example of a youth leadership project. Some ways to present your work would be (but are not limited
to): three sided display boards, scrapbooks, and posters.
**Champion & Reserve Ribbon**
- Presentation Software (i.e. MS PowerPoint) may be used for both Demonstrations and Illustrated Talks. If Presentation Software is used in
a Demonstration, the presentation software should supplement the
Demonstration (hands on demonstrating should still be the basis of
the entry). If used for an Illustrated Talk, the presentation software
can be the basis for the entire talk; however the member must interact with the presentation and information - not just step to the side
and let the presentation play. (Self-presenting entries created with
presentation software should be burned on to a DVD and entered in
the “Video” class.)

Special NOTE: if presentation software is utilized in either a Demonstration or an Illustrated Talk, the 4-Her is responsible for securing
any equipment necessary for judging. Extension staff may be able
to assist in this process, but it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to
contact Extension staff WELL BEFORE the scheduled judging. The
ideal situation is to deliver the presentation with a computer and LCD
projector, but the use of transparencies and an overhead projector is
also possible.
