Eighteen youth brought home individual awards in photography, flower arrangement, artwork, mixed media and gardening. In addition, the 4-H Banner they submitted won Grand Champion and the Family Challenge Banner won first place.
Renee Main, program lead, said the school-age children thought up the design for the 4-H Banner, a collage of photos detailing the construction of the center's greenhouse construction project last winter. "It was so good, they had to create a category for it," Main said.
The banner won first place and Grand Champion in the Science-Education display category.
Samantha Devorak took the photos used in the display.
"I thought it was exciting to win first place for my photo series. I had a good time taking pictures of the green house project," Devorak said.
A huge supporter of the greenhouse and garden where the center youths grow spices like thyme, sage and oregano and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, cabbage, and celery, Hannah Lee said she was surprised to learn that she won first place for her dried oregano.
"It takes a lot more work than I thought to prepare the herbs to dry them. It was fun to help grow them before I [prepared] them for the fair."
