Wabasha County 4-H Showcase event
Throughout Minnesota, 4-H educators and youth are putting their innovation skills to work as they create alternative experiences to replace 2020 county fairs, including the Wabasha County Fair. On July 14, 16 and 17, Wabasha County 4-H’ers shared their skills and accomplishments with judges in a modified showcase environment, as necessitated by COVID-19. The annual livestock shows took place in a modified setting that prioritized safe practices for youth and judges. To help safeguard health, the events were not open to the public. The static (non livestock) exhibit judging took place in an online format in which judges and exhibitors had the chance to interact via Zoom. Photos and video highlights from the judging will be available on the County 4-H Facebook page. To find them on Facebook, search “UMN Extension Wabasha County 4-H.”
