July 19, 2015
Static results–¦how exciting does that sound? Still, motionless, stagnant, quiet–¦BORING! But, the static 4-H exhibits 4-H members produce may be motionless, but they are anything but boring. If you didn't make it to the Fremont 4-H Fair, you'll just have to come to the Burt County Fair to see what creative projects these 4-H members have created.
Special recognition medals were awarded to the top two exhibits in each project area. Burt County 4-H members brought home seven of these medals for the exhibits they had created.
Rayna Hladky of Tekamah received a gold medal for her acrylic painting in the Portfolio Pathways project.
Jenna Voskamp of Tekamah had her child development game named as a silver medal winner in Child Development.
Brent Miller of Lyons was a multiple award winner receiving a gold for his deer feeder in Wildlife Habitat; a silver in Model Rocketry and a silver in Electricity for rewiring a livestock grooming blower.
