4-H'ers from across Kaufman County traveled to the Kaufman County Farm Bureau Building in Kaufman to compete in the 4-H Roundup events on January 17th. Competing in Fashion Show, Food Show, Illustrated Talks and the Food Challenge 4-H'ers used their "Making the Best, Better" to its finest.
Starting off the County Roundup was the entertainment group from the Kaufman County 4-H Silver Spurs club. Lisa Roberts, Lynsey Culp, and Kelvin Word presented a Celebrate 4-H piece on how to give reports at the County Council meeting. Quite entertaining for the County Roundup Crowd.
In the Food Show, 4-H'ers had to cook a dish in either the Main Dish, Side Dish, Breads and Cereals or a Nutrious Snack. They presented their dish to judges and used their skills to explain why the dish in nutrious, how they prepared the dish, its nutrient content and their knowledge of the food guide pyramid. Participants in the Food Show were:
Trinti Corder - Clover Kid - Nut Snack, Reuben Stecher - Clover Kid - Nut Snack, Ashley Brewer - Main Dish - Jr - 1st, Isaac Stecher - Side Dish - Jr - 1st, Collin Corder - Main Dish - Int - 1st, Lynsey Culp - Breads - Sr - 1st and Hannah Feller - Main Dish - Sr - 1st.
The Illustrated Talks followed with 4-H members using their favorite 4-H projects to present to the judges in a 5-7 minute long illustrated talk. 4-H members stepping up to the challenge of the Illustrated Talks were:
Trinti Corder - Clover Kid - Promote 4-H, Isaac Stecher - Jr - Goat Project - 1st, Savannah Baugh - Jr - My Horse Sweetie - 1st, Collin Corder - Int - Benefits of Trees - 1st, Kelvin Word - Sr - Right to Bear Arms - 1st, Hannah Feller - Sr - Foods - 1st, and Catlyn Wold - Sr - Taking the Best Photo Shot - 1st
Competing the Buying Division for the Fashion Show was Brianna Moore and Lynsey Culp. Both senior girls qualified for District Competition. Lynsey competed in the Buying Specialty with her personally designed show shirt for the 4-H horse shows. Brianna Showed off her dress that she looked hard and wide for in the Buying Dressy category.
New to the contest this year was the Food Challenge. Taking the challenge was the Scurry Rosser 4-H team. Emily Brewer, Erin West, Logan Acevedo, Kaylie Sutton stepped up to prepare a dish from scratch and then present it to the judge. Using only ingredients gave to them (and no recipe) the girls came up with a tasty chicken pot pie for the judges to taste.
