CARRINGTON, N.D. (NDSU Extension) – Why do we judge 4-H exhibits?
4-H Achievement Days & Fairs provide an opportunity for youth to enter static exhibits they have completed while learning about a particular project area. We encourage our 4-H’er to prepare exhibits to be judged as a way to foster the development of several life skills among youth such as communication, critical thinking and learning to learn. These skills are encouraged through engaging youth in learning and providing an opportunity to master skills. Such mastery of skill sets was on display at our Foster County Fair.
The Grand Champions in the Static Exhibits are:
Kennedy Wendel – Animal & Vet Science; Maddyx Davis – Child Development, Fiber Arts; Kyle Johnson – Citizenship, Environment, Home Environment; Photography, Forestry; Jill Endres – Clothing & Textiles; Juliet Davis – Communications and Horticulture Produce; London Davis – Creative & Performing Arts I, Food Preservation; Hayden House – Creative & Performing Arts II; Sean Nichols – Crop Production; Tyler Lee – Engineering & Mechanical; Trace Spickler – Entomology, General Science Investigation; Olivia Threadgold – Food & Nutrition; Kelsey Johnson – Health and Horticulture Plants; Nicole Lee – Outdoor Skills; and Connal Murphy – Technology.
