4H Tulsa County Fair Book 2024

HISTORY

The Tulsa County Free Fair began in 1903 at the Western Association baseball

park at Archer and Boston. With enactment of the Oklahoma Free Fair Act in

1915, a 15-acre tract of land north of Archer and Lewis was purchased to

provide more suitable grounds. In 1923, thanks to a land donation from J.E.

Crosbie, the fair was moved to a portion of the present Expo Square between

15th and 21st Streets. Passage of a major bond issue of $500,000 provided

for the construction of the Pavilion in 1931. The fair board acquired land

adjacent to the gift acreage in later years, and the "state fair" was born.

their own projects. These projects should include an

engineering notebook, journal or description which answer

the following questions about their project. Projects

without an engineering notebook will be judged

accordingly. Projects with notebooks will place before

projects without notebooks, journals, or descriptions.

clothing, create alternative energy, design, and build a

rubber band powered car, etc)

• Draw your design

• How did you test your design?

• What were the results?

• How did you change your design to improve it?

• Did you retest it? Did the results improve?

• Describe your final design and does it work?

Engineering Design Challenges will be judged based on

creativity, design, function, and recordkeeping (journal

or engineering notebook.)

Marshmallow catapult challenge design task. Design

requirements: Design a trebuchet-style swing arm catapult. It

may be similar to a teeter totter or swing set. The beam (arm) is

able to swing (go up and down). The arm of the catapult must be

adjustable from the center to an offset (one side of the beam is

longer from center pivot point).

• Use at least five (5) different types of materials or parts

(craft sticks, brads, dowels, etc.)

Rubber Band-Powered Vehicle Design Challenge

Design a wheel-driven vehicle, powered only by one rubber

band (size #64 approx. ¼” wide by 3½” long by 1/32” thick.),

which will transport a one-pound “load” (box of baking soda

approx. size: 3½” x 4½” x 2”) at least 9 feet (on a smooth flat

floor) while remaining within the boundaries of a 3 ft. wide

parallel track (marked off with masking tape). Speed is not a

criteria.

There are no restrictions on materials, size, weight, or number of

wheels. However, the only energy source permitted is the elastic

energy of one rubber band. Commercially assembled vehicles

are NOT permitted. However, commercially manufactured

components may be used as parts of the vehicle. The vehicle

must be self-starting (i.e., no pushing, external power starts,

etc.). Propulsion of the vehicle must be through the wheels (i.e.,

no propellers, no launching mechanism). Transferring the energy

of the rubber band to wheels via gears, fly wheels, etc., is

encouraged. No remote-controlled devices are permitted.

A journal or engineering notebook should be included to

describe the creation, purpose, and function of the device.

Explain how you built and tested your vehicle and if you made

any modifications. Chart or graph collected data and explain

how you measured improvements in your engineering

notebook or journal.

SECTION 305

SCIENCE DISCOVERY PROJECTS

The goal of this project and exhibit is to allow 4-H member to:

• Use the scientific method to gain an understanding of

how things work and the variables that affect them.

• Take an open and creative approach to problem solving.

• Learn that a successful outcome is based not on

personal opinion but on scientific facts.

• Improve written and visual communication skills. 4-H

members are encouraged to use their 4-H projects as

the basis for their scientific research and discovery

project. Exhibits should relate to one of the following

topics:

• Behavioral and Social Sciences

• Biochemistry, Medicine, and Health Sciences

• Botany and Zoological Sciences

• Computer Science

• Earth and Space Sciences

• Engineering

• Environmental Sciences

• Mathematics

• Physical Sciences

SECTION 306 Design and Construction

Use a safety pin and attach it directly to the exhibit when at all

possible. NEVER attach sheet to a hanger! The sheet MUST be

completed by the 4-H member. The skill mastery sheet

https://4h.okstate.edu/projects/design-and-

construction/curriculum-andpatterns.html is an education tool

to guide project work. Click Sample Technique Cards to find

instructions for many of the techniques noted in the skill sheets

(i.e., facings, zippers, hems, fasteners, etc.).

Instruction Sheets for the projects listed can be found at:

https://4h.okstate.edu/projects/design-

andconstruction/project-guide-sheets.html

Fair exhibits have been carefully selected and directed for

members to investigate and learn specific skills/information and

to demonstrate mastery of these skills/information.

The end-product/exhibit is being evaluated on the skills

“learned/mastered.”

The skill sheet serves as the member’s “personal reflection” and

communicates to the judge what was learned. Why is this

important? Because in 4-H, the reflection and application of

what was learned is more important than the end

product/exhibit.

The skill sheet is to be used as a planning tool. It is important that

each 4-H member take responsibility for the life skill of “learning

to learn.” This may require members, leaders, and educators to

look up terms and learn techniques as part of the educational

process.

Resources, instructions, and project guides are posted online.

Members are encouraged to seek out other valid resources

which teach proper technique and knowledge in the areas of

design and construction.

General Skills to be mastered in project/product in ADC, IDC and

HTDC:

♣ Structural Design: Construction technique, size, form, color,

and texture suited to the materials and product end use.

♣ Elements of Design: The finished product illustrates the

member is learning or “mastering” the basic elements of design

- line, shape or form, texture, color, and space.

♣ Principles of Design: The finished product illustrates an

awareness and application of the principles of harmony,

proportion, balance, rhythm, and emphasis adding dimension,

interest and/or appeal to the finished product.

♣ Surface Design: This is any lines, shapes, colors, textures, or

materials applied to the product or item’s design that creates an

emotional or personal quality, individuality, and creative

expression without disturbing initial/end purpose/how it is used.

Design is that “something” which makes the item unique to the

individual designer.

Reports/Descriptions/Expense Sheet/etc. – Exhibits requiring a

report/description/expense sheet of any kind, can be typed or

neatly/legible handwritten. The report should be one-two pages.

If typed, it must be double spaced using a minimum of 12-point

font. Report MUST be SECURELY attached to the exhibit
