Department Chairs: Suzanne Sheehy, Lisa DeScenza
The Art Department provides wonderful insight into the immense creativity and talent of 4-H'ers. Every medium is presented from crayon to computer graphics. In the collections of bright oil paintings and lively pencil sketches and exquisite block prints the viewer can't help but find something they wish were on the wall in their home.
The Dairy products department provides a showcase for youth to present all things produced for dairy milk. Products range for butters and yogurt to soft and hard aged cheeses. Youth also present projects based on equipment made for the production of dairy products and information poster presentations. Stop by the cooler in the staic building and see the effort and creativity of our youth.
Education about some of today’s leading environmental topics and concerns, astronomy, identification of common natural items and dioramas of bio
A floral display of Specimens, arrangements and potted plants raised and cared for by 4-H members. A spectacular array of color and a marvelous view of what the youth of today are capable of. Come and be inspired.

With a large variety of categories, including black and white photo categories, 4Her's can always find a place for their best photo's from the last year. You can be a 4Her planning a career as a photographer or a 4Her who took one great photo there is a place for you in our department.
