BURLINGTON – Visitors to the New England Center at the 2024 Eastern States Exposition on September 15 and 16 were treated to a wide range of Vermont 4-H activities and exhibits.
More than three dozen Vermont 4-Hers, all blue-ribbon winners at the annual 4-H State Day in May, shared their project work through their action exhibits, illustrated talks, stage performances and smart shopper outfits, among other activities. In addition to the in-person presentations, several photographs and posters by 4-Hers were on display throughout the 17-day run of the fair, held annually in West Springfield, Mass.
Local 4-Hers representing the state were: Illustrated Talk, Natalie Hill, Greensboro.
Several other 4-H’ers were eligible to present at the “Big E” but were unable to attend due to school and other commitments.
