On a beautiful spring afternoon, 4-Hers shared the steps on completing a variety of projects with judges, families, and friends. "We learned how to fold a flag, germinate seeds, make a straw rocket and "bake" a chocolate chip cookie in only a minute," according to Powder River County MSU Extension Agent Julie Riley. The 4-Hers topics were creative, varied and fun to watch. Several newer 4-H members watched the presentations to prepare for next year. 4-H Demonstration Day is the best 4-H event for building public speaking skills the kids can use throughout life.
Molly Lloyd and John Olson, two community-minded people dedicated to inspiring and helping youth, explained Agent Mary Rumph, evaluated the contestants and placed them.
Noah Dudek demonstrated, "How to Prepare Seed Sprouts"; Hanna Dudek shared, "How to use a Voltage Meter"; Sammie Hart explained, "How to Fold an American Flag"; Delaney Ruland demonstrated "Waterglassing Eggs"; Clinton Handran made "A One Minute Microwave Cookie"; John Dudek created, "A Straw Rocket"; Kaylan Reaves shared, "Oranges as a Source of Renewable Energy", Paisley Harper demonstrated, "How to Make Koolaid"; Cloverbud member Leo Dudek created, "How to Make a Paper Hat". Delaney Ruland capped the event by sharing a poem she had written.
