4-H Fair Group Day

On July 15, 4-H Agriscience in the City visited the Hamilton County 4-H Fair at Stricker’s Grove, on the extreme northern edge of Hamilton County. The fair ran from the 15th to the 18th from 4 PM to 10PM most days. On the first day, however, there was a group day from 10AM to 2PM, where day camps could come and visit the 4-H fair and ride the rides at Stricker’s Grove. That was when 4-H Agriscience in the City set-up a little demonstration table along with an information board about the different programs that 4-H can bring to a school or camp. The demonstration was from rockets away, and they used a 2-liter bottle, filled it up with water and pressurized it using a launch pad. After a count down from excited youth spectators, the rocket launched into the air, spewing the water out the back and getting the audience a little wet. The campers squealed with excitement at the sight and would come back asking for more periodically. Eventually, 4-H Agriscience in the City had to launch every 10 minutes to keep the campers interested. This ran from the campers’ arrival at 10 until their departure at 2. It is estimated that 4-H Agriscience in the City saw at least 100 kids if not more.
