Impact Report County Fair 148 youth participated in the Roosevelt County Fair showcasing their development of life skills through indoor and livestock exhibits related to over 200 project areas. 224 indoor items in the 4-H Educational Exhibits were exhibited. Youth received recognition and feedback for continued improvement of knowledge and skills. Approximately $10,000 was paid to County 4-H Members through indoor premiums and over $180,000 through the junior livestock auction. 75% of County 4-H youth showed an increase in knowledge and skills related to home economics, creative arts, and personal development as evidenced by quality baking products, garments made, products exhibited, and ribbons awarded. Each member is encouraged to prepare and enter project items in the Roosevelt County Fair, this encourages them to complete commitments they have made and to set goals. Many of our members also use their items in other contests such as the Cotton Extravaganza completing at the county and state levels. Items from the 4-H Educations projects are then exhibited at NM State Fair and ENM State Fair. The sense of accomplishment from these exhibits aids in the growth and development of these 4-H members and develops a positive sense of self worth.
