Cloverville

Author: Stephen Conrad

Planning Unit: Boone County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: 4-H Communications & Expressive Arts

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The COVID 19 pandemic has caused the cancelation of nearly all 4-H activities during the spring and summer of 2020.  When word came down that the Boone County Fair was also being canceled, the Boone County 4-H Staff knew that something had to be done to preserve the county Cloverville activities and to provide a little normalcy to these unsettled times.

We settled on a three evening format.  Entries were taken the first evening.  Judging and arranging was done during the second day and then we opened for public viewing the second evening.  This allowed the 4-H’ers to have friends and family stop by to see the great projects turned in.  The third evening was project pick up.

We had a total of 28 youth enter 150 projects.   $371.00 was paid out in premiums to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each class.   4-H’ers and their parents were very appreciative of having an opportunity for a little bit of “fair” experience.
