Edmunds County Tribune -

4-H Members have the opportunity to participate in several judging contests or skill-a-thons at the state fair. They include sheep, swine, beef, rabbit, goat, dog, horticulture, and consumer decision making.

Judging classes consist of similar items which must be placed in order from the best to worst based on given criteria. Some classes include the giving of reasons why they placed the items in that order. These reasons may be oral to defend their placings or written which build memory skills to remember the details of the class.

Members that have signed up to compete at the S.D. State Fair in Huron in the Consumer Decision Making Contest are Beginner Lincoln Beyers, Junior Hannah Beyers, and Senior Bridget Fuhrmann. Senior Myra Toennies will be participation in the Horticulture Skill-A-Thon.
