In between competitions and judging, teens kept busy cleaning, caring for animals and talking with old friends at the Washtenaw County 4‑H Youth Show, which started July 20 and runs 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. through July 26. The event features a llama leaping contest, Western horseback riding and a goat skill-a-thon, along with other competitions. The opportunity to see award-winning art, flower arrangements, cooking, sewing, animals and farm products is free to attend and open to the public at the Washtenaw County Farm Council Grounds at 5500 Ann Arbor-Saline Road through Saturday.
Chelsea Middle School student Raegan Vargo and her brother Colten Vargo each showed two pigs at the 4-H Youth Show.
Despite the heat, youth were hard at work Thursday at the 4-H event.
Students from schools across the county, both public and private, revived old friendships the last few days.
