Fair week is the traditional time for Round-Up, when all the proj ects that 4-H club members have been working on all summer are brought to the building for judging. This year over SOO projects com pleted by participants ages 8 to 18 were on display at the Harford Fair. Tuesday is 4-H Day at the fair when club members and their fami lies visit the building and see what color ribbon they received for their project. There is much excitement generated by the young members who have worked so hard on their projects which range from cake decorating, archery, backpacking, bowling, ceramics, entomol ogy (ick, bugs!), swimming, leadership, theater arts, gardening, fishing, and the list goes on and on.
