The Udderly Crazy 4-H Club at Fairmont Farm just returned from a great start to their showing season. August 15th, 2016 was the Vermont State 4-H Show at the Caledonia County Fairgrounds. We could not be more proud of this amazing group of 4-Hers.
Charlie Haynes placed 3rd in his 11 year old Showmanship class, one of the largest classes of the day! Caroline Kirby won the 12 year old Showmanship class and then went on to be the Reserve Junior Champion Showman. Isabel Hall won the 14 year old Showmanship class and Justin Thurber placed 4th in the 14 year old Showmanship class. Maggie Kirby won her 17 year old Showmanship class. Isabel Hall was the Senior Champion Showman.
