The Fashionistas Go Virtual
Submitted by Mary Haynes, Program Leader
The Fashionistas 4-H Club hit the ground running at the beginning of the year preparing for County Public Demonstrations that were to be held on March 21 at Tamarac School and the 4-H Fashion Review scheduled for April 4 in Valatie. Like everyone else, their plans were altered. Thankful for their resourcefulness, Rensselaer County 4-H made it possible for the girls to present at home while submitting their demonstrations via youtube.com to be viewed by the 4-H staff.
This is the 5th year the Fashionistas have done demonstrations and their requirements included a lengthy presentation between 10 and 15 minutes long. Amelia chose to do her demonstration on How To Make a Terrarium. Lucy K. demonstrated How To Make a One Crust Pie Shell and Jessica’s presentation was How To Prepare a Record Book as a Fair Entry. The girls did a great job practicing and presenting their topics and will be encouraged to present them to a live audience at this year’s Schaghticoke Fair, Labor Day Weekend.
