PARIS – Oxford County 4-H program was well represented at the Oxford County Fair in September. Also represented were Androscoggin County with two members, and Franklin County with two members.

Ten junior members, ages 9 to 13, and four senior members, ages 14 to 18, brought their animals to show in the 21 classes offered. Show manager, Kay Daniels, reported the sportsmanship exhibited at this show was excellent.

Judge Miranda Derenburger, a former 4-H member in the horse project, gave each member reasons for the ribbons they received and ideas on how to improve for next year.
