Pet Show Kicks Off 4-H Participation at 2002 North Dakota State Fair

The pet show kicked off 4-H participation at the North Dakota State Fair, which is July 19-27 in Minot. Three 4-H members demonstrated their knowledge of their pets through an interview. This event allowed 4-H members in the pet project to show off their pets and practice their speaking skills. All three 4-H’ers were presented with a participation ribbon for their efforts. Members are listed by county with name, hometown (if available), and pet brought to the show.

4-H is the youth education program of the NDSU Extension Service. For more information, contact your county office of the NDSU Extension Service.
