| Impact Report | 2011 Colfax County Fair Agent and County Agriculture Agent along with ten volunteers organized and ran the Colfax County Fair Horse Show. Twenty-six youth participated in twelve different classes. Youth received feedback and instruction on horsemanship, tack, and patterns. Seventy-five percent of youth increased mastery related to horsemanship skills based on improvement in later classes. Agent and County Agriculture Agent along with fourteen volunteers organized and ran the livestock shows and showmanship events. Thirty-six youth participated in seventy-six livestock related projects. Youth through these projects are learning life skill in the form of keeping records, goal setting, self-discipline, personal safety, disease prevention, and self-responsibility among others. They are meeting three and in many cases four of the four basic needs all youth have: Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and hopefully Generosity. Agent and County Home-Economist along with many volunteers organized the Indoor Exhibit Hall at the County Fair. Thirty-three youth exhibited seventy-two projects in this year’s exhibit hall. Youth demonstrated mastery in the many project areas that they exhibited in. There were projects in welding to baking, and from shooting sports to veterinary science. Youth worked very hard as evidenced by the quality of the projects. |
