Tuscarawas County 4-H
Quilt Square Trail
Thanks to the efforts of numerous 4-H clubs, barns
owners, and business sponsors in Tuscarawas County,
painted wooden quilt squares now dot the countryside.
Quilt barns represent the combined interests of
agriculture and art. They are a bridge between the
past and the present. During the 2012 Quilt Fest,
the public was invited to help paint six 4-foot quilt squares. Where better to
hang the quilt squares than at the fairgrounds - a meeting place for people as
diverse as the quilt squares themselves. Discover all 6 patterns at the fair!
To see a complete list of the 25 current squares visit

The Grange, Farm Bureau Organizations, Beekeepers,
Homemaker’s Council, or any other family organization, may
make an educational exhibit featuring some phase of the
agricultural industry.
Exhibits should be educational in nature and should be built
around some theme or point. It is better to have exhibits tell
one thing than to try to tell too much in one display. Something moving in an exhibit always adds to its interest and
attracts attention.
Expert judges will be employed and each organization will be
scored on their exhibit according to the following scorecards:
Each Juvenile Grange in the county will be given a maximum
of $55 for an educational exhibit scored on the same basis
as the Adult Granges.

displayed in an unusual and attractive way.
4. Originality (20 points)
Total – 100 points
Premiums will be awarded according to the number of points
scored and 75 cents per point will be the basis of award providing
the sum of the premiums does not exceed the amount appropriated. NOTE: All educational exhibits will be judged on a basis of
100 percent for perfect.
1. The purpose of this exhibit shall be to inform the public on any
phase of agriculture in Tuscarawas County.
2. Booth displays will be 10 x 10 feet.
3. Each booth will have at least one light and one electrical receptacle for your use.
4. Exhibits must be completed on the evening before the fair is to
officially open.
5. Exhibits will be judged on the following basis:
• General Appearance (30 points) Well-balanced; attracts
attention of viewer, informs the non-farmer about
agriculture.
• Effectiveness (30 points)
Exhibit tells a story, makes its point clearly, and is related to agriculture in Tuscarawas County.
• Neatness (20 points) Name of council or other organization clearly and cleverly displayed, all lettering neat and attractive, all objects and products clearly labeled.
• Originality (20 points) Unique and clever display of topic, a
new topic or a new approach to an old topic.
Premiums will be awarded according to the number of points
scored and 75 cents per point will be the basis of award providing

NOTE: All educational exhibits will be judged on a basis of
100 points for perfect.
