Impact Report Twenty-four 4-H members participated in the Otero County Fair showcasing their development of life skills through indoor exhibits related to over 200 project areas. Over 140 items were exhibited. 72 of the county exhibits qualified to be entered in the New Mexico State Fair 4-H Indoor Exhibit Department. Youth received recognition and feedback for continued improvement of knowledge and skills. Recognition for indoor exhibits included ribbons, rosettes, plaques, belt buckles and duffle bag. Photographs of 4-H members winning plaques were published in the Alamogordo Daily Newspaper. 4-H youth showed an increase in knowledge and skills related to home economics, creative arts, animal science, engineering science, and personal development as evidenced by quality baking products, woodworking items, Cloverbud displays, and other exhibits. One 4-H member participating in the indoor exhibits at the Otero County Fair stated: “It (4-H) has helped me learn independence. I’ve learned that I can’t rely on my parents to do everything for me anymore. I have to step up to the plate and take on my responsibilities if I want to exhibit anything for fair.”
