Project Interact (Action Demonstration) Contest Scheduled


Project Interact scheduled for Saturday, June 9

4-H members (both Explorers and regular 4-Hers) are encouraged to take part in Project Interact! Project Interact is a fantastic way to complete a 4-H project.

The contest will be Saturday, June 9 at Orscheln’s in Tell City.

To participate contestants need to register by noon Friday, June 8 by contacting the Extension office. Contestants need to arrive at 12:45 p.m. and the contest will begin at 1:00 p.m. Contestants need to bring their own materials, including a table if one is needed. They will be set up outside the store and will need to engage people as they walk by. Tell them you are wanting to teach them about your 4-H project. More information is available in the handbook starting on page 27. There will be a judge who will stop by and visit.

Explorers are encouraged to participate but will not be judged.

Members can select any 4-H project to do for Project Interact. Members who participate may be selected to go to state (but only state fair projects are allowed to be demonstrated at state.)
