Tri-County Fashion Revue Hosted by Winnebago County
Fifteen 4-H members from Dodge, Fond du Lac, and Winnebago Counties participated in the Tri-County Fashion Revue on June 19 in Oshkosh. This event provides a place where youth can showcase their clothing, knitting, and crocheting projects. Recently added was Consumer Savvy, which is putting together an outfit from thrift stores while staying within a budget! Participants were graded on their garment, creativity, and overall appearance of the garment on the model. Youth received advice from Judge Chris Kneip to improve their next year’s projects and gain confidence as they described and modeled their creations. Best in Show delegates were Gabby (Winnebago County), and Alaina (FDL County). Golden Thread winners were Paige, Teagan, and Lucy (Winnebago County).
