The University of Illinois Extension office for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties needs volunteer judges for this summer's 4-H Fair. 

Kendra Wallace, 4-H Coordinator for the Extension, explains they are beginning the search for volunteers to judge projects of 4-Hers at this year's fair. She notes they are not looking for experts to judge; all you need is a general interest.  

A project area that is especially in need of judges is the Visual Arts category. Wallace indicates this is due to the wide range of media and the growing interest from young people. 

Wallace adds that becoming a volunteer judge is not a big time commitment. You will have scheduled slots, so you know when it's time, and they ask for about four hours each day of the fair.
