Scotts Valley 4-H members had many opportunities to participate in the Santa Cruz County Fair this year.
Every year each local 4-H club builds a fair booth representing the fair theme and displays youth department entries in the Crosetti Building.
This year Scotts Valley 4-H built a “Cows, Plows and Oh Wows” themed booth showing the Youth Fine Arts entries like paintings and drawings.
Santa Cruz County 4-H members judge the booths. The Scotts Valley 4-H booth won a second place ribbon.
4-H members also worked shifts at the Clover Deli during fair time, which is a snack shack serving ice cream and milk shakes. The money raised goes to support the county 4-H program.
Members had opportunities to volunteer in the Youth Building and at Claudia’s Kitchen and some entered exhibits in the Fine Arts building and Harvest Building like the Veggie Creatures contest.
Several members earned awards for their floral arrangements created during the county 4-H floral arranging event. Kids 5-18 years old can join 4-H, make things in projects, and show them in next year’s county fair. Visit the Scotts Valley 4-H Club meeting on October 10, 6:30pm at Community Covenant Church, 2700 El Rancho Drive, Scotts Valley. Some of the projects led by Adult Volunteers this year are Arts & Crafts, Baking, Chain Mail, Cooking, Gingerbread, Inkle Weaving, Knitting, Quilting, and Viking Weaving.
