Page 29 Lincoln Daily News 2025 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2025 Commemorative Quarter Collection. One boy brought in an art piece made of several tree branches and beads hanging from it. As the kids and their parents arrived, they would go to the check-in table at the front. There they would check in with Rachel Skelton and have a seat to wait to be called. When a judge was ready, Reagan Tibbs would call out the child’s name and direct them to the judge they would be presenting to. They did not have to wait long this year, however, as there were a signifi cantly larger number of judges. In previous years there were usually about four or fi ve judges. This year there were eight judges total. The judges were Ellie Wrage, Charlotte Judd, Grace Nutter, Kristina Morrow, Arianna Morris, Alex Steff ens, Kindell Helton, and Myah Bowman. Each of the judges talked to the kids about their projects, asking questions and allowing the child to teach them about what they made. After each child fi nished presenting their creation, they would go and put it on display with the other Cloverbud projects. Tibbs shared that there were about forty entrants this year. Tibbs also talked about Cloverbuds and the role it plays in helping kids collaborate and learn new skills. “Cloverbuds are for kids who are just a little bit too young to join 4-H… It’s just a group, it’s a class for kids to learn diff erent things.” Tibbs went on to say “there’s a whole bunch of diff erent things kids can do. They can do Lego projects, they can do woodworking, metalworking. A whole bunch of diff erent ways to learn those skills, interact with kids their age, and learn those important life skills.” The 4-H Cloverbuds projects will be on display in the brown door barn at the Logan County Fairgrounds for the duration of the Fair.
