After a late night on Friday night at the MCFB Dinner, I had to somehow get both Bryce and Paige up early the next morning, feed them a good breakfast, have Bryce dress in his whites and ready for 4H Presentation day at 8:30 a.m.
We made it.....and with very little complaining, and if you're a mom, you know this makes things go so much more smoothly in the mornings.
One of Bryce's projects in 4H is Photography 101. The group of six came up with a Photography Presentation for Presentation Day. Bryce and his cousin, Morgan, were the only two out of the group that were able to make it to Presentation Day to give the presentation.
Bryce is giving his presentation on 'parts of the camera' to the judges, while Morgan awaits her turn to give her portion of the presentation.
The both did really well.
Morgan had a number of Presentations for the day. Here she's demonstrating how she has trained her puppy, Buddy. This was the first time Buddy was put into an environment with so many people AND be asked to concentrate and listen to his owner at the same time. Morgan and Buddy did great!
There were some really cool displays that I saw. Here's one on how to make a duct tape wallet.
I had never heard of such a thing and neither had Bryce. He wants to make one now. And who knew duct tape came in SO many colors??!!
Had to take a photo of the Steps, just in case I wouldn't be able to find them by googling it.
Favorite Foods is always displayed on Presentation Day and here are some of the displays...
Pear Mice.
Reindeer Cupcakes that our good friend, Logan baked and decorated.
Peanut Butter Mice...how cute are they?!
After a few hours, all the presentations were complete and it was time for the Award Ceremony. Bryce was excited and proud to receive a 'gold' for his portion of his and Morgan's presentation. Morgan also received 'golds' for all of her presentations she presented.
I know you've heard me say this in the past, but again, I can't say enough about the 4H program. I've seen my niece, Morgan, go from a shy little girl to a confident young lady who doesn't even bat an eyelash at giving a presentation in front of a group now. The 4H program has definitely been a huge factor in her level of confidence.
In August, Paige will be 5 and able to be involved in 4H herself. She's so ready.

Thanks for sharing, you must be proud as a peacock with the kids!
I'll have to see if I can find directions for the duct tape wallet, great project for kids. I wish I had been able to get my kids into 4H, it's a great organization, and they offer a lot. I'm sure if I have my way, my grandson will be involved! I'm so looking forward to it!
I am a lead 4-H advisor in Ohio (I'm actually leaving to pick up our project books for the year in a few minutes). Your 4-H program looks so wonderfully organized. What county are you in? I would love to look up your county's website and maybe pick up a few ideas for our County 4-H Advisory Board (I've been on the Board for three years now).
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
@DeanO, I know! I thought the same thing!
@Michelle, I hope you're able to get your grandson involved....there is something for everyone in 4H :)
@Julia, we are in Marin County 4H and I'm sure they would be more than happy to help you with anything you need:)
I have been an advisor over 20 years. Love the program. I also adore the hats and ties. I have never seen ones like that here.
@fleming4716, wow, I thought all 4H clubs, natiionwide had the same type of hats. Now I'm wondering what type your kids wear??
