4H County Competitions

03.07.2009 by Girl on Fire // 5 Comments

4H

WOW…what a loooooooooong day! The competitions for 4H County Roundup started last night.  This is our 1st year in 4H and we were not quite sure what to expect.  Morgan gave an Educational Presentation  last night titled “Price vs. Quality”. She was really nervous, but did very well for her first time.

This morning she was up at 5am getting ready to go and preparing her entry for Main Dish in the Food and Nutrition competition.  She decided on a Tofu Stir Fry served over Rice to present to the judges.  She also entered 3 photos in the photography competition.  She entered Black and White Animal, Color Animal and Color Natural Landscape.  She also participated in our 4H groups clowning skit for Share The Fun.

When awards time came we were pretty nervous and excited. Again, being 1st year we had no idea what to expect.  Morgan’s projects placed in the following:

  • Education Presentation: 1st place Medal
  • Color Animal Photography: 1st place Medal
  • Share the Fun: 1st place Medal
  • Black and White Animal Photography: 2nd place ribbon
  • Color Natural Landscape Photography: 2nd place ribbon
  • Main Dish Food and Nutrition: 4th place ribbon

How awesome to win in each thing you enter!  This was a huge boost in her confidence, and just what she needed!  All of the kids were so happy to be getting ribbons and medals! I really can not stress enough how much we love this program!  Seriously, read my other 4H post…it is so much more than we thought it was.  Let’s not forget how awesome 4H participation looks on a college application!
