Re: Judges Needed for Record Book Judging - Quick turnaround time
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting 4-H Record Book Judging this year in person. We will have very strict limitations and will offer 5 locations for judging; however, the key is that we are going to be able to do this in person. We all know that judges are a vital part of this process and we are writing to request your help. If you would like to judge please see below for the specifics.
It will be held in the following locations:
May 15 - Robeson County - Lumberton
May 15 - BJP 4-H Camp - Reidsville
May 15 - Mitchell County - Bakersville
May 22 - Nash County - Nashville
May 22 - Millstone 4-H Camp - Ellerbe
Due to the pandemic restrictions that are in place and the university guidelines, we will have to limit the number of judges per location to around 20 and judging will be held on one day only. Judging will be handled on a first come first serve. I have to cut it off at around 20 due to our indoor limit restrictions for space and people. Registration will close on May 7th.
Judging locations and dates are listed above. Each district has roughly 95 books to judge and we should easily be able to do that in one day if we work hard. We are also asking that if you could pack a bag lunch and bring it, that will help with some of the restrictions we are under. We will provide snacks and drinks but this will help us stay within our guidelines easily. If you are able to judge, please select the location that is closest to you that you can drive there and back on the day of judging. Judges must wear a mask and follow all guidelines by the Governor. We will have masks and hand sanitizers available at each location as well.
4-H Volunteers who are judging: In order to judge we need to have all of our judges registered and approved in 4HOnline. I anticipate most of you are however if you are not, please work with your 4-H Agent to register or go here: https://v2.4honline.com/#/
If you are already registered then you are all set. Go to the link below to register for judging. Please note that registering in 4HOnline using the above link does NOT register you to judge – see link below for that.
If you are available to help, please mark the dates for judging on your calendar. Your participation in this process will benefit the 4-H'ers as well as yourself. If you want to help both weekends, please understand that at this time unfortunately we are not able to provide lodging. If you can judge both weekends, please fill out a separate entry for both weekends. This will help me keep it all organized in one spreadsheet. Once I have the judges confirmed, I will send an email with specific instructions and the address for the judging location.
