Project Judging:

In Laramie County we have introduced a Static Judging Rubric system for the Laramie County Fair.  These rubrics are going to be some of the things that judges will be looking at and awarding ribbons on at County Fair.  All animal science will be judged on the same rubric, species does not matter. Display rubrics are for things like posters, and binders; Physical items are for things like benches, clothing, etc.. Click the links below if you would like to take a look!
