4-H Working Exhibits are a success at Washington County Fair

Many people enjoyed “making and taking” during the Working Exhibits on Tuesday, July 18 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.

Five groups of 4-H’ers participated in the Working Exhibits, ranging in activities from learning about sensory slime to origami to heat safety. 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.

Siena Stanerson of the Riverside Enterprisers 4-H Club earned the Judge’s Choice trophy for their exhibit titled “Boredom Buster – Pom Pom Launcher”. The following groups will represent Washington County at the Iowa State Fair:

Calvin Meller, Kiera Stanerson, and Lillianne Eldridge with “Grandpa’s Fidget”

Siena Stanerson with “Boredom Buster – Pom Pom Launcher”

Grace, Sophia, and Elijah Puttmann with “Look & Find”

Makenyn Liska, Sophia Lujan, and Olivia Lujan with “Spin Art”

Congratulations to everyone on a great job! Thank you for sharing with Washington County.
