4-H members were in the limelight during interview judging on Tuesday at the Fair last week, according to Powder River Extension Agent Julie Riley. During an interview, members were asked what they learned while working on their projects, what they liked best and what they would do differently. Welding judge Lee Randall explained to one exhibitor, "Practice is how you get better," as the exhibitor explained how he struggled with a certain type of weld.
Cat judge, Ronda Gatlin couldn't have been more pleased with the single entry in the feline department at the Fair. "That cat just curled up on my lap," stated Gatlin, complimenting exhibitor Taylor Hanson for the work she has done with her cat project.
From photos to leathercraft and from vet science to aerospace, the general 4-H exhibitors brought both quality and quantity to town, filling up the North-end of the fairbarn and resulting in a beautiful display representing the work throughout the past year.
Following are the results for the non-livestock 4-H projects judged on Tuesday:
