Iowa State Fair 4-H competitors gained essential skills and an appreciation for hard work with their entries this year.
Mindy Kephart with the Marion County Iowa State Extension Office says she is proud of the many participants and their accomplishments. Kephart says that although many blue ribbons were earned much can be learned from a project that didn’t work well. She says perseverance and work ethic are important values for 4-H to cultivate. Marion County 4-Hers entered more than 50 projects for judging woodworking, displays, metal work, crafting, baking and other skills.
