4-H Achievement Days

With a whirlwind (and I’m not referring to the wind, which was truly was racing last week), Achievement Days came and went.  Projects were finished with spray and thread, goodies were baked and packaged, the animals were cleaned and clipped.  Everything was loaded into the vehicle or the trailer on the appropriate day … static exhibits on Tuesday and animals on Wednesday.  The kids had a great time and were rewarded for their hard work with an abundance of ribbons.  Thursday was declared a day of rest for our whole family.  The majority of the projects have been sent on to the state fair, so pictures will be posted later – for that reason and I just don’t have time to upload right now!

Zeke is a Cloverbud, which means he can exhibit at the county level, but is not old enough to exhibit at the State Fair.  Cloverbuds can exhibit three static projects.  Zeke also showed a lamb.  Zeke’s results:
