On Sunday, June 29, 10 Washington County 4-H Clover Kids modeled a favorite outfit in front of a judge to kick off clover kid county fair activities. They were paired with an experienced 4-Her who has exhibited in the clothing event project area before. Their mentor taught them about presenting their best self with modeling tips and how to visit with the judge during the one-on-one conference judging. All Clover kids received special tie-dye ribbon for participation in the clothing event and were able to have their time on the runway during the 4-H Runway and Results show that evening.
Washington County 4-H is appreciative of the older 4-Hers providing this mentoring experience.
Clover Kids are youth in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade who are involved in the 4-H program. Washington County currently has over 150 Clover Kids in eleven clubs. In the coming year they are seeking additional caring adult volunteers. For more information about how to volunteer or be a part of the clover kid program, contact the Washington County Extension Office, 319-653-4811, or check the web at www.extension.iastate.edu/washington.
