Congratulations to the Genesee County 4-H members who participated in the 4-H Flower Fair at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Office on Aug. 17-19.
More than 20 4-H cut-flower projects were entered by 4-H youth.
With the County Fair cancelled this year, the 4-H Flower Fair was an opportunity for 4-H members to have their cut flower projects evaluated. Projects were judged by Genesee County Master Gardener volunteers for their overall quality, uniformity, color and being free of insects and disease.
4-H Flower Fair Class Champions:
- Sunflower – Helena Kotarski
- Gladiolus – Kara Goodenow
- Floral Arrangement – Helena Kotarski
- Cut Flowers – Kara Goodenow
- Cut Flower Collection – Gia Zuber
The Genesee County 4-H Program is a youth development program for youth ages 5-18. New 4-H youth members, adult volunteers and clubs are always welcome.
For more information about the Genesee County 4-H Program, please contact the 4-H Office at genesee4h@cornell.edu or (585) 343-3040, ext. 131.
