The 2017 Meeker County 4-H Share the Fun & Performing Arts Day was held Sunday, March 12, in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium at the Family Services Center in Litchfield. There were four Share the Fun and 15 Performing Arts acts. Share The Fun is a time for kids to share fun skits with their peers and adults while performing for an audience. The purposes of Share the Fun include: building club rapport and unity,
promoting 4-H, and providing recognition for the club. Many Meeker County 4-H?Äôers had a great opportunity to share their talents. The Meeker County 4-H Ambassadors did a fabulous job emceeing the event.
Share the Fun awards were as follows:
First Place – Valley Victors, The Best Songs Better
Second Place – Danielson Husters, I Pledge
As the first- and second-place winners, the Valley Victors and Danielson Hustlers earned the opportunity to represent Meeker County 4-H at the 2017 Minnesota State Fair Share the Fun Showcase. Some of our top clubs will also perform their acts during the Share the Fun showcase at the Meeker County Fair.
