Ward County 4-H

06/11/2026

Hello Ward County 4-H Families Showing at Achievement Days and Club Leaders,

As we get ready for Achievement Days Interview Judging, we are excited to see all the hard work our 4-H members have put into their exhibits!

📅 Tuesday, June 16
🕞 3:30 pm to 7 pm
📍 North Dakota State Fair Center – FFA Hall

To help the day run smoothly, please plan ahead by:
• Checking the Class Number on each exhibit tag
• Using the "What Station Should I Go To?" list to match each class number with the correct judging station - emailed 06/11/2026 12:41 pm
• Allow yourself enough time to complete all required judge stations before 7 pm

Each judge station will have a series of waiting chairs and numbered floor signs to help keep the interview line organized. Please follow the Judge # foot signs and seating order:
• Take a seat at the highest-numbered available chair/sign
• As a participant moves to the judge's table for their interview, everyone should move forward one chair/sign
• If you are in the On Deck position, you are next to interview with the judge
• The remaining positions will follow in order:
o 2nd
o 3rd
o and so on
• Please pay attention to the movement of the line and be ready to move forward as spaces become available. This will help keep interviews running smoothly and on schedule.

And a quick reminder:
⭐ Kindness counts! Please be respectful, patient, and courteous to others. Wait your turn in line and help create a positive experience for everyone.

We look forward to a great day of learning and celebration!
