Impact Report During the summer months (June, July, and August), Socorro County 4-H Agent held monthly 4-H project day camps in Socorro. The day camps were designed for youth from Socorro and around the county to come together to complete 4-H projects to be entered in the Socorro County Fair. Projects competed during the project days included: Food, Friends, & Fun; Housing and Interior Design; Wood Science Unit 1; New Mexico Flavor, and Arts and Crafts. Youth completed projects such as picture frames, recipe card holders, adobe houses, stenciled terracotta pots, and painted desert chile just to name a few. Youth entered over 100 projects to be judged at the Socorro County Fair, with 30 of those items going on to compete at the New Mexico State Fair. The 4-H Agent each year work hard to increase the number of 4-H Indoor Exhibits exhibited during the county fair. A Hi-Point 4-H Indoor Exhibitor belt buckle was added this year as an incentive for completing 4-H indoor projects. We have seen an increase over the years with 100 entries in 2005, 146 in 2006 and 150 in 2007. With this new incentive we hope to see even more next year.
