Crawfordsville Clover Kid member Kasen Collins, son of Kyle and Taryn Collins, brought a few projects to have on display. He had lots to say with clover kid volunteer judge Ann C. Williams.

Sixty-seven Washington County 4-H Clover Kids conferenced with judges about their fair projects on Saturday, July 13, during the non-livestock judging day for the Washington County Fair. While 4-H’ers were getting their non-livestock exhibits judged for Family & Consumer Sciences and Science, Mechanics & Engineering, Clover Kids also had their opportunity to visit with judges. Clover Kids are youth in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade who are involved in the 4-H program. They had the option to visit with an adult about their fair exhibit(s). They were asked about their project, what they did, and what they learned. All Clover Kids received special tie-dye ribbons for their exhibits and the opportunity to display them during the week of the fair. 154 Clover Kids’ projects were on display in the upstairs of Dallmeyer Hall each day of the fair last week. Conferencing with an adult allows Clover Kids the opportunity to experience conference judging, which is a requirement of all 4-H exhibitors. They will move up to a traditional 4-H club when they enter fourth grade. At that time, they will conference with a judge and receive ribbons and premium money. Washington County currently has over 150 Clover Kids in ten clubs.
