Day 1953 | 4-H Showcase

The 4-H fair looked a bit different this year. So different, in fact, they gave it a new name: the 4-H Showcase. The boys still did projects and presented them in front of a judge (following health and safety guidelines), but we couldn’t meander the exhibit hall looking at other entries, we couldn’t visit the animals, there were no malts at the food stand.

To be honest, initially I wasn’t thrilled the Showcase was happening. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of projects knowing the experience would be so different. Now, though, I’m so glad we had something to focus on for the last month. We had fun doing the projects and it motivated us to try some new activities with the kids (sewing with grandma, whittling with dad, leaf collecting with mom). I really like 4-H. Have I said that before? :)
