The Moultrie Douglas 4-H program held their virtual show recently and several members from our area received recognition for their projects. According to Angela Welker, 4-H/Youth Program Coordinator for the University of Illinois Extension Unit 19, the virtual show had a submission deadline of June 27 and participants had from June 1-27 to submit their projects.
Livestock project submission were done by sending videos to judges while General Show submissions involved taking photos of the project and writing a project report. Welker said that the virtual aspect of this years show affected the amount of submissions in that there were less submissions this year.
“We hope to be able to be face to face for next year’s fair,” she said.
