4-H’ers Perform at the Iowa State Fair

Iowa State University Extension

Mahaska County 4-H’ers performed during the Share-the-Fun event in the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair. Share-the-fun participants perform vocal or instrumental music, dance, humorous skits, monologues and specialty acts.

“Performers receive evaluation comments from a judge, but are not ranked,” said Mitchell Hoyer, program coordinator for Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development. “The purpose of the show is to entertain the audience and have fun while you’re doing it.”

About 100 youth perform each day of the fair, according to Mitchell Hoyer, program coordinator for Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development. “Our judges give skill-building pointers in several areas including presence, performance techniques and interpretation.”
