2017 LOGAN COUNTY FAIR
LINCOLN DAILY NEWS
July 30 - August 6, 2017
O
n Monday afternoon, a group
of five to seven-year-olds had
the opportunity to experience what
it is like to stand before a judge and
have their “exhibit” critiqued.
The youngsters were participants in
this summer’s Cloverbud Camps,
hosted by the Logan County 4-H
Foundation.
At the camps children were
able to spend time in a club-like
environment, having fun and
learning about specific projects, all
related to the STEM initiative that
is a popular teaching tool in today’s
schools.
They also learned about programs
that are offered in local 4-H
programs that also go along with the
STEM.
4-H clubs are open to kids
beginning at age eight. The
Cloverbud Camps are also intended
to create a greater interest in
becoming a 4-H member when
children reach the right age.
In its first year in 2016, the camp
produced four youngsters who
entered exhibits for judging. That
number increased this year.
The exhibits are “judged” by
members of the 4-H Ambassadors
which is made up of teenage level
4-Hers from a variety of local clubs.
