Recently a Trigg County 4-H youth attended the 4-H FCS National Championship and Conference in San Antonio TX in the Fashion Revue competition at this event. Receiving 3rd for Interviewing and Presentation, 1st for Modeling Abilities, and GRAND CHAMPION for highest score overall.

This incredible achievement not only showcased their exceptional talent and dedication but also opened new opportunities and ideas for this youth. The recognition and connections gained at the national level have paved the way for potential internships and scholarships. Additionally, the experience has boosted their confidence and inspired them to pursue a career in fashion design.

Through the 4-H FCS program, she developed skills such as effective communication, creative problem-solving, and self-confidence. It was our 4-H sewing club that provided hands-on experience in fashion design, sewing techniques, and presentation skills. These competencies were instrumental in their success at the competition and will continue to benefit her future endeavors in the fashion world.

Beyond her success at the National Championship, she has also excelled in local and state events through 4-H as well as other organizations, earning numerous awards for her creative designs and leadership skills. She has actively participated in community service projects, and will be using their fashion expertise to organize clothing drives and workshops for underprivileged youth. She has demonstrated has commitment to giving back to the community.

She plans to establish their own name fashion while focusing on sustainable and inclusive designs. She is interested in using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and creating clothing that caters to diverse body types and styles. Her goal is to make a positive impact in the fashion industry by promoting ethical practices and inspiring the next generation of designers.
