Howard County 4-H Compete in State O'Rama
Nashville, Ark. – Several members of the Howard County 4-H attended State 4-H O’Rama July 25th - 28th in Fayetteville on the University of Arkansas campus. 4-H members that attended were Adelene Westfall, Sarah Lamb, Christian Trombley, and Anna Kate McKinnon.
The 4-H O-Rama program is the culmination of a 4-H member’s year of hard work and dedication. It is designed to supplement the county 4-H program and project work. Each year contests are held on the county, district, and state levels. 4-H O-Rama consists of approximately 40 competitive events. Most of these contests require each individual or team to qualify at the county and district level. Arkansas (State) 4-H O-Rama also offers state-only contests.
During State 4-H O-Rama, 4-H members and adults have the opportunity to participate in educational workshops & tours offered throughout the event. This year Adelene Westfall and Anna Kate McKinnon placed first in their competition and will be attending National competitions later in the year. Adelene won Fashion Revue Casual and Anna Kate placed first in Food Fair. These competitions require both girls to get up in front of judges and give a speech. Adelene also placed fifth in Impromptu Speaking. Sarah Lamb competed in FCS Presentation and placed second. Christian Trombley competed in archery and placed fourth. This year was a special year for Howard County 4-H as two youth, Sarah Lamb and Christian Trombley, were both selected to be 4-H Ambassadors and Adelene Westfall was elected as a State 4-H officer. Sarah and Christian will represent Howard County 4-H on the local and state level throughout the year. Adelene will now represent Howard County 4-H as part of the State Officer Team. She will travel all over the state as a state officer, as well as attend state and national functions during the next year.
