Impact Report Indoor Projects- Due to a result in Otero County Extension Advisory Committees, 4-H Leader Meeting and Club Visits, the 4-H Agent and 4-H Home Economist organized and carried out multiple 4-H indoor project days at the Otero County Extension Office. These projects had over sixty 4-H member and parents in attendance. These project days were focused on the following 4-H projects: Photography, Leathercraft, Baking, Scrapbooking and Sewing. Otero County 4-H saw a 38% increase in 4-H indoor projects exhibited at the Otero County Fair as well as had the most number of 4-H indoor exhibits at the NM State Fair in Albuquerque in 2010. These 4-H projects allow for 4-H members to gain skills and provide opportunities for youth of all backgrounds and residence. As one 4-H member said, “This is a lot of fun! I am glad I have something to do this summer.” Another stated, “I love to take pictures and I finally have learned how to use computer programs to help with my pictures.” A 4-H Parent said, “I appreciate our Extension Office offering projects with information for our youth. They enjoy these projects and this is a great way for our family to spend time working on educational projects together.”
