Fashion Revue
Monterey County Fair is hosting the 2009 Monterey County 4-H Fashion Revue. All 4-H members are invited to participate. You do not have to be enrolled in a sewing project. The winner of Fashion Revue is eligible to compete at the State 4-H Field Day in May!
Fashion Revue is an opportunity for 4-Her's to highlight their efforts and to develop self-confidence and poise. Members have an opportunity to model a garment they have made or
purchased and to present themselves at their best.
There will be three categories of competition:
Traditional: The ensemble made completely by the participant,
accessories may be made or purchased.
Recycled: A garment that is 75% redone, not just changing a hem or
sleeve length, adding a zipper or buttons. Reconstruction of the garment
must have been the responsibility of the member modeling. A "before
picture" must be present at the time of judging.
Purchased: The ensemble must have been chose/purchased by the model,
accessories may be already owned. The total cost of the outerwear and
accessories may not exceed $150.00. Receipts and/or cost estimates
must be present at time of judging.
Fashion Revue will be held at the Monterey County Fair beginning at 12:00
noon on August 16, 2009 in the Garden Area adjacent to the 4-H building.
Entry packets may be picked up at the 4-H Office or at the Fair Entry
Office. Entries and commentaries are due Friday, August 7, 2009 to
the County 4-H Office. For more information contact the 4-H Office at (831)
