In a continuation of the virtual state showcase format developed in 2020, over 70 of the general exhibits were judged virtually this year. Throughout the year, 4-H youth select project areas that reflect personal areas of interest and pursue hands-on learning in both selfdirected and guided environments. The results of their learning are exhibited at county fairs and other showcase events across the state. A collection of the best exhibits from each fair and showcase are brought to presentations in the 4-H Building at the Minnesota State Fair.
