Informative talks, vocal solos, instrumental ensembles, and demonstrations, oh my!
Members of the Smoky View 4-H Club were busy competing at the Central Kansas District (CKD) Club Days on Saturday, March 5. Members either submitted a video of their presentation or competed at the event in-person at Salina South Middle School.
Twelve members competed in 17 events, and five of those events qualified for the regional Club Day competition that will be on Saturday, March 26 in Clay Center.
Smoky View 4-H Club members also participated in the CKD 4-H Quiz Bowl on Saturday, Feb. 19 at the K-State Campus in Salina. Eleven club members competed with each other and against 4-H members from other district 4-H clubs. The club won second place in the competition.
On Feb. 27, the Smoky View 4-H Club found out what fair themes the Tri-Rivers Fair Board and Ottawa County Fair Board had chosen for the year. The Ottawa County Fair Board chose “Blue Jeans and Country Dreams” and the Tri-Rivers Fair Board chose the theme “Fancy Like… Fair Life!” The club learned this at its February club meeting held at the Salemsborg Fellowship Center and online.
At this meeting, club members who participated in this year’s CKD 4-H model meeting competition were awarded with blue ribbons. The club was able to move on to the regional model meeting competition.
Club members Eian Pracht, Maia Pracht, and Acacia Pracht presented a reading of a chapter of the book The Strange Case of Origami Yoda to the club.
The Smoky View 4-H Club plans to meet again on March 20 at the Salemsborg Fellowship Center.
