Achievement Days will soon be here on August 3-5! The 4-H grounds are busy with final Youth-In-Action events and preparations.  One of those events included the Fashion Revue Contest which was held on Wednesday, July 19.  

This year, the contest featured an authentic traditional Ukrainian outfit made by Senior 4-H member, Ashlee Hanson. She chose to replicate an outfit that was worn by her grandmother many years ago. Also unique was a pair of pants made by Sophie Kelly. She recycled and sewed the pants from an old coat.

The Fashion Revue Contest is an opportunity for youth to model complete outfits that are either made or selected by the exhibitor. Participants are judged on their interview, personal presentation, modeling, appearance of outfit/garment and responses to judges’ questions. This year we had four contestants who kept judge Cindy Larson busy with a total of eight outfits.  

Competing in the Fashion Revue Contest were the following 4-H members along with their ribbon placings: 

Purple – Ashlee Hanson, Anna Hunter, Sophie Kelly (3), Timothy Kelly (2);

Blue – Timothy Kelly.

The Town ‘N Kountry Kids Blue Group 4-H Club enjoyed an afternoon at a jewelry making workshop in the Letcher Community Center on July 13. Approximately 15 members enjoyed the activity with Greta Sonne in charge; Karen Sonne assisted.  The members watched a video, worked on bead selection, style, and correct finishing techniques. Members enjoyed making bracelets and necklaces that they took home.
