ROME TOWNSHIP — The Lawrence County 4-H clothing and textiles and food and nutrition projects were judged pre-fair on Tuesday.

The Ohio 4-H Food and Nutrition program helps develop knowledge, skills and understanding of nutrition, menu planning, safe food handling, kitchen equipment safety, consumer knowledge, fitness, meal and time management and food and nutrition related careers.

All Ohio 4-H food and nutrition projects use MyPlate, which incorporates current USDA recommendations about eating and exercise.

The clothing and textiles program helps develop knowledge, skills and understanding about clothing appearance, buymanship and construction.

All who made clothing projects will have the opportunity to showcase their work during the style show during the 4-H Showcase event at 4 p.m. on July 12 at the Lawrence County Fair 4-H Shelter. At the 4-H Showcase, overall nutrition and clothing project winners and Skillathon winners will be announced.

At 3 p.m., a silent auction will begin for many of these projects and others that will be judged during the county fair.

The community can bid on the 4-H projects. Proceeds will go to the 4-H member.
