4-H working exhibits a success at Washington County Fair

Many people enjoyed “making and taking” during the Working Exhibits on Tuesday, July 20 at the Washington County Fair. A large crowd flocked to the hands-on presentations during the late afternoon and left with some homemade items and valuable facts.

Four groups of 4-H’ers participated in the Working Exhibits, ranging in activities from learning about sun safety to homemade bubbles to rockets to sensory bottles. This project area falls under the communication division which is known for teaching youth how to demonstrate, give directions to an audience, and interact with an audience to produce a take-home product.

76 Progressives members Marlee Greiner, Emily Conger, and Emma Greiner earned the Judge’s Choice trophy for their exhibit titled “Sun Safety.” The following groups will represent Washington County at the Iowa State Fair:

Marlee Greiner, Emily Conger, & Emma Greiner with Sun Safety.

Ava Greiner, Grace Conger, & Taylor Garman with Out of this World.

Paige & Piper Malichky with Beads & Bubbles.

Jenna Messer with Great Escape Sensory Bottles.
