Local 4-H members from the area 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 the State Fair it is assumed every entry in the 4-H divisions are blue ribbon exhibits. 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.
