4-H Members Show What They Know at the 2002 N.D. State Fair

The following 4-H members participated in 4-H state fair contests July 21-24 at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot. They were involved in at least one of the following events.

• Project Expo: An educational table is set up by the 4-H’er, and he/she is asked questions about his/her topic.
• Clothing Revue: Members model an outfit they’ve sewn or purchased after being judged.
• Consumer Choices: Teams of 3-5 4-H’ers from each county evaluate products separately. The participants must then state reasons for decisions on three of the classes to a judge. The results are tabulated for individuals and teams. This year, contestants judged jeans, sunscreen and fast food.

Participants and teams who received Awards of Excellence or placed in the top rank are listed here by county, name, showcase event and award.

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