4-H ‘table-setting’ contest announced

VW County 4-H news

A table-setting contest will be held August 17 during the Black Inc. and livestock judging.  The contest is open to all 4-H members ages 8-18.  Members do not need to be enrolled in a specific project to participate.

Two age groups will be judged: Junior (8-11), Intermediate (12-14), and Senior (15-18). Members will pick a theme, set the table, add a centerpiece, write a menu, and dress to match their table setting. Members should sign up for a judging appointment at http://4hlivestock13.genbook.com under the “table setting contest” category.

During the judging, members will be asked to present the table setting to the judge, explaining why they chose the theme and how they decorated it. Outstanding table setters will receive monetary awards sponsored by the Black Inc. grant through the Van Wert County Foundation.

Members with questions about this award should contact the OSU Extension Office at 419.238.1214 for complete information and rules. Information can also be found at http://vanwert.osu.edu.
