animals in the show ring.
There was also a pre-4-H show
ing event for youngsters under
eight years old. The show con
cluded with a showmanship class
of 4-H alumni, 4-H parents and
4-H leaders. There was a lot of
heckling from the youth and the
audience before Mildred Seeds
narrowly edged out the other
adults.
The 4-H program received con
siderable financial support from
business and individuals this year
with over $1,600 being raised
through paid advertisements in the
catalog. These funds are used to
support the program for the year.
