The recent 4-H Spring Show was held May 12 at the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley. The annual show was attended by approximately 150 Island County 4-H’ers, leaders, superintendents and parents, as well as the general public. The 4-H motto is “Learning by Doing,” and the annual spring show gives members an opportunity to practice before a judge and to get better prepared for the Whidbey Island Fair (formerly the Island County Fair) in August.
For more information about 4-H, call the Island County WSU Extension office at360-679-7328.
