I am in a club called 4-H. I have been in 4-H for 1 year, Iam starting my second year. I think that my first year going to fair was really awesome and fun.

We had to have some help unloading my big, heavy, wood compost box. There was at…

When I think of the North Carolina State fair, I think of cold fall breezes, ammonia, sawdust, haircuts, and rushing around. My side of the State Fair is the side few see and many ignore. The State Fair for me normally begins sometime in…
Over the last two weeks I have been preparing to show at the Coshocton County Fair as I have done for many years. At this fair I take two completely different animals that I raise and show; these animals are chickens and hogs. Normally, I do very well when I show my chickens.

When I joined, I had no idea of the impact this club in Madison would take on my life. My first camping experience is something I will never forget. I had no prior knowledge of how camp worked before that…
