The Tioga County 4-H Youth Fair was held during the annual Tioga County Fair with 4-H members bringing out their best projects for evaluation by judges and evaluators. This event is a time for 4-H members to show the results of their hard work completed over the past year, and to be fairly and constructively evaluated on their progress by skilled and knowledgeable people.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s 4-H members participated in animal shows which included beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, goats, sheep, dog and horse. Their handmade crafts including gardening, heritage crafts, foods, science projects, art, natural resources, photography, sewing, and record books were exhibited in the 4-H Youth Building. Local businesses and buyers purchased 17 animals at the 4-H Livestock Sale that netted $17,069.60.<\/p>\n
4-H members, parents and leaders took turns working non-stop in the 4-H Food Booth and Dairy Bar serving up drinks, meals and wonderful ice cream treats to fair visitors. The 4-H Shooting Sports program operated the 4-H Air Rifle trailer for those that wanted to test their shooting skills.<\/p>\n
