PRESS RELEASE
Carver County 4-H’ers Showcase Their Projects in 2014 at the County, State and National Level
Carver County – August-September 2014 Highlights – Local 4-H’ers showcased their best work at County, State and National events.
4-H is a year round program that focuses on a variety of programs. This includes but is not limited to photography, arts and crafts, clothing and textiles, gardening, food and nutrition, exploring wildlife and the environment, shooting sports, aerospace and robotics, vet science, and livestock project areas. 4-H has a Cloverbud program for Kindergarten-2 nd
graders, and student’s grades 3- one year past high school are eligible to be 4-H’ers. The County Fair allows 4-H’ers to have a venue to showcase the projects they have been working on all year. You can find projects in the 4-H building and livestock barns, but you can also find 4-H’ers performing on the Patio and volunteering in the 4-H food stand.
Beyond the County Fair, 4-Hers earn opportunities to exhibit general and livestock projects at the Minnesota State Fair, 4-H State Shoot and State Horse Show. Four Carver County 4-Hers were also earned the ability to compete in a National Dairy Judging Contest in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in mid-
September.
In an effort to recognize all of their hard work, we present the 2014 Carver County Fair 4-H
Parade of Champions, Minnesota State Fair Parade of Purples, participants of National 4-H Contests and more! Congratulations to all the 4-H’ers who participated in this year’s County Fair and to all the 4-
H’ers who have been invited to compete at the State Fair as well!
