Here are the results from showing 4-H projects at the county fair this year:
The kids had two days of judging for projects, and Holly participated in the Fashion Revue, modeling her pajama pants that she sewed.
Henry entered a robotics project and two art projects. He got blue ribbons for both during judging! When we came back to visit his projects on display, we found that he had been chosen for champion as well as state fair exhibition--which he's too young for this year. We're hoping next year he'll be able to go to the state fair with one of his projects.
Holly entered quite a few things this year, her first as a "real" 4-Her. Last year she was a Cloverbud, a category for the younger kids where they get practice with judging and showing, but aren't eligible for the champion/reserve champion, award of merit, etc. awards. She decided she'd had enough of the three-project limit and wanted to really go for it! And she did! She entered a project in Exploring the Environment, an art project, two items of clothing, a pillowcase, and doll clothing, as well as doing the Fashion Revue show during the fair. She was awarded five blue ribbons and one red during the conference judging. We came back to find that she had been awarded a champion ribbon for her pillowcase, and reserve champion for her completed naturalist program!
I will have the kids explain their projects for you in more detail very soon--it will be a writing assignment for school! Until then, here are some highlights from our week at the fair...
