Allamakee County 4-H members’ exhibits were on display in the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair held August 12-22 in Des Moines. The exhibits were displayed this year, showcasing excellence in project area learning by 4-H members across the state of Iowa.
Divisions young people may exhibit in include agriculture and natural resources, creative arts, family and consumer sciences, personal development, and science, mechanics and engineering.
“Each exhibit is an outgrowth of year-long project area work done by the 4-H member,” explains Mitchell Hoyer, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H youth development program specialist. “The exhibits display at the Iowa State Fair is a celebration of the educational and personal accomplishments of our Iowa 4-H members. It is a way for our members to share what they’ve learned with the public.”
“During the 4-H program year, members set goals for themselves, and their exhibits receive placings based on how well they’ve met their goals and on the evaluation standards for each class,” said Marissa Foels, County Youth Coordinator at the ISU Extension and Outreach Allamakee County office. “We’re pleased to announce that these Allamakee 4-H members have received special recognition for their hard work by having their exhibits on display at the Iowa State Fair.”
