Story in Brief

The 4-H mini-booth competition encourages positive adult-child interaction and provides an overall meaningful learning experience for youth. Each year approximately 260 5th-12th grade 4-H members enter an educational “mini-booth” into the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair from Bulloch and surrounding counties. The topics are chosen by the students. Each entry is required to have a title poster, two information posters, and a floor display related to their topic. Members are provided a brochure that guides them through the process of creating their mini-booth exhibit. In 2007, 264 mini-booths were entered into the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair. About 42 percent had help from a family member, 5 percent had help from a teacher, 17 percent had help from an older 4-H member or teen leader, 12 percent had help from another adult such as a volunteer leader or neighbor, and 35 percent had help from a 4-H staff member. All received positive parental or adult involvement in the completion of this project.
