The Statewide Clothing Showcase took place on Saturday, April 11 at Lake Forest High School. Forty Five participants arrived at 2 pm and were interviewed by judges on their garments. The youth also participated in their County Clothing Judging Contests and sewed squares for Quilts of Valor. The contestants practiced their modeling skills and enjoyed a delicious dinner, provided by the Kent County 4-H Links.
The Clothing Showcase began at 7 pm where participants were judged on their modeling skills. Each county gave ribbons to the participants and the honor courts received gift cards. The statewide honor court was also announced and received engraved medallions.
