The Giggles ‘n Stitches 4H Club recently attended the Geauga County Style Revue, held at NDCL Education Center on July 19th. Members had to go through interview judging in the morning and a fashion show in the evening. They were judged on the quality of their project, skill at modeling, and their ability to make a complete outfit centered around their garment or accessories. Both of the scores they received were combined and then state qualifiers were chosen to represent Geauga County at the Ohio State Fair.
While everyone worked hard on their projects, some were awarded for something that set their project apart. Maggie Eibler was awarded State Fair Qualifier and Outstanding of the Day with her Sewing for Others project. In the Shopping Savvy category, Graycen Wood received State Fair Qualifier and Outstanding of the Day, with Sarah Ward as Alternate to State Fair. Autumn Hamby is State Fair Qualifier and Outstanding of the Day and Katherine Baumgartner won Alternate and Outstanding of the Day for Creative Costumes. In Accessories for Teens, Elizabeth Cooper won Alternate and Outstanding of the Day. In the Sew Fun category, Samantha Sunderhaft received Outstanding of the Day and State Fair Alternate and Gabriella Gudger and Rebecca Zallar both earned Outstanding of the Day. Kylie Nelson, Paige Gudger, Olivia Hall, and Katherine and Olivia Penzenik each earned an Outstanding of the Day award, with Kylie Nelson earning State Fair Alternate in the Sundresses and Jumpers category. Corrin Hamby earned State Fair Alternate and Outstanding of the Day in Loungewear. Maggie Eibler earned the Junior Division Best Modeling award, and the Senior Division Best Modeling award went to Graycen Wood. Graycen Wood also received a nomination for the Lloyd & Doris Roby 4H Clothing Program Award.
The Club will be modeling their projects at the Geauga County Fair Monday, September 5th, at 2:00 p.m. in the Junior Fair Building. If you are interested in 4H or the Giggles ‘n Stitches Club, please contact the Geauga County Extension Office at 440.834.4656.
