Skillathon Help Needed!
Skillathon is an event that test the knowledge of the livestock species that youth exhibit at the fair. In Morgan County, it is required by the Senior Fair Board to complete to exhibit at the county fair, receive a premium, and compete for premier market exhibitor. There are three stations involved: 1) a review of the project record book and questions on quality assurance, 2) an interview based on knowledge of the animal, and 3) an activity to complete based on knowledge of the animal. This is a learning opportunity for the youth to apply their knowledge and practice life skills.
We need some volunteers to donate their time as judges for skillathon. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at the Morgan County Fairgrounds. You do not need to be an expert in livestock, and you do not have to stay all day! We have a morning shift option from 8am – Noon or an afternoon shift option from Noon – 4pm. You are more than welcome to stay all day (8am – 4pm) if you’d like.
We particularly need help in the all day or afternoon time frame!
If you’re interested in helping, we just need your name, email, and your time commitment. You can either call Sophia at 740-252-5435 or email her at whisman.30@osu.edu to sign up.
RECAP: June Cloverbud STEM Day 2024.
We had our second STEM day of the year on June 14th. The theme was based on summer time! The kids had a great time!
They got to make glow in the dark lights out of water bottles while learning about recycling, , also they painted reusable water bottles and learned about the importance of hydration when it is hot out, they also made butterflies out of toilet paper rolls and learned about the butterfly life cycle.
We played games quite frequently!
For snack we had popsicles.
Thanks to all of our older youth for their hard work and here’s to another great year for our cloverbuds!
