WARSAW — Artists and craft enthusiasts of all ages displayed their handiwork at the Kosciusko County 4-H Fair during the annual arts and crafts show, held at the fairgrounds’ Home and Family Arts building on Tuesday, July 10.
Organizers were busy gathering winners together for photographs and said it was too early to judge turnout this year. However, the curb appeal was not ambiguous.
“There are always really quality entries,” said June Thomas, co-superintendent. “This is good for men and women who are too old for 4-H but who still want to bring things in.”
The show officials handed out awards in 11 categories, including Foods, Sewing, Crafts, Photography, Art, Food Preservation, Garden Flowers and Plants, Herbs, Agriculture, Quilts and Needlework.
