COUNTY FAIR RULES:
JUDGING GUIDELINES:

Judging criteria will be as follows for all categories except Food:
Originality (5 points)
Creativity (5 points)
"Mouse Theme" (5 points)
Overall Appearance/Impression (5 points)
Judging criteria for Food will be as follows:
Originality (5 points)
"Mouse Theme" – Overall Presentation (5 points)
Taste (10 points)
What does "Mouse Theme" mean as far as awarding of points: If the project showcases a "generic" mouse theme including bears, possums, woodchucks, hedgehogs, skunks, raccoons, rabbits, then partial points should be awarded. If the project showcases a "WFF" mouse theme including all of the above WFF animals, then maximum points should be awarded (5 points). If there is NO mouse theme – zero points will be awarded. How can an exhibitor incorporate "Mouse Theme" in their food? In the presentation of the food item including the "name of the recipe."
