The 4-H State Day, held on May 17 at the Barre Auditorium, showcased the talents of 4-H club members from across Vermont. Participants demonstrated their skills through various activities, including stage performances, action exhibits, fashion revues, and illustrated talks. The event served as a platform for members to highlight what they have learned in 4-H, with several entries selected to advance to the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts, in September.
Notable entries included action exhibits from the Blazing Bridles and Kingdom Hoofbeats clubs, showcasing creative projects like “Lucky Jewelry Hanger” and “Galloping Through Careers.” Individual demonstrations featured topics such as CPR for dogs and the life cycle of chickens, while the fashion revue highlighted unique outfits created by participants. Photography and poster entries also received recognition, with several winning People’s Choice awards based on visitor votes.
The event was sponsored by the University of Vermont Extension 4-H, emphasizing the program’s commitment to youth development and education. For more information about the 4-H program, interested individuals can contact the State 4-H Office.
