Senior Share the Fun is a talent show for all 4-H members ages 13 or older as of January 1, 2010. This contest has three different types of acts including musical, dramatic and novelty. The musical acts may include vocal, instrumental, or combination. The dramatic acts may include plays or readings, either humorous or serious. The novelty acts may include folk games, stunts, pantomimes, etc. Solo acts, small group acts (of two-four members) and large group acts (ﬁve or more members) are all allowed. Each member may enter one solo act, one small group act and one large group act.

The acts can be up to six minutes from the time the curtains open until they close. Every act is allowed two minutes to set up props and two minutes to tear down props. Acts must have self-standing props if using props. No paint is allowed on the stage. The acts must clean up after themselves and have all necessary supplies to clean up. All props must be furnished by the act with the exception of a piano. Acts must be in the holding area when called.

This contest is set for Dec. 5 at Kiowa School in the auditorium.

The second contest to be held in December is a new contest for Pittsburg County based around 4-H technology. This contest is open to all age groups in 4-H. Members may enter these exhibits in the 2010 Pittsburg County Fair, but 2009 county fair exhibits may not be entered.

Exhibits will be judged against the member’s age group. Age groups include cloverbuds (ages 5-8); juniors (ages 9-13) and seniors (ages 14+).
