[August 14, 2020]   The Atlanta Ag 4-H club was well represented in the virtual shows with several members entering exhibits for judging.

Here are notes from some of the members along with photos of their projects:


Jamie Carlock
Veterinary Science
Public Presentations
Food Preservation
Creative Writing
Sports Nutrition



"I have been interested in veterinary science and I focused my project on dogs. I had just got a new puppy and I took time to learn about dogs by researching through you tube, Internet, and books. The project shows all about the body of dogs and how well their body helps them for the environment and their breed."

Visual Arts (chalk/carbon/pigment)
public presentations

"By creating this glass album cover I learned about different materials and their uses. I took the glass out of an 8x10 picture frame and attached a photo to it. Underneath the photo I had traced the writing of the song from the way it looks on Spotify (a music app). After I had traced the words with the paint marker I waited for the paint to dry and then covered the entire front of the glass in a coat of modge podge. The project was a lot of fun and turned out great! I have a set of 5 displayed on my wall with different photos of my friends."

"It was the first time I made jelly. I picked my favorite to make, Grape Jelly. I put a lot of time and effort into making this jelly. I was really happy that the jelly is very good and tasted great on my toast!"




Paige Finchum
Crossbred Steer

"What I’ve learned through showing my steers is the true meaning of friendship and teamwork. Through the months of preparing for the fair you create a bond like no other, as well as teamwork when showing to be able to lead and set up my steers."

"To highlight a couple of projects (Photography 3 and Rock Hounds 2 Geology): In the Photography Project I learned how to use a variety of different lighting techniques to pull out certain aspects of a desired object. Also from the Geology Project I learned about the structural geology of Illinois, but more specifically for my hometown of Atlanta."

Visual Arts: Fiber

"What learned while working on making this ear of corn for my sewing and textiles project: I simply referenced a Pinterest photo from a while ago. In my mind I worked ahead a few steps, to figure out how the pieces needed to fit, since I did not have a pattern of listed instructions. It was a fun challenge!"
