NEW MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — The Country Kids and Kritters 4-H recently put together a display at the Eastwood Mall for the charitable Canstruction event where participants made displays out of canned goods. The event is hosted by the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley. All cans used in the displays will be donated to the food bank after the event. The theme for the event was “GAMES: Win the Battle Against Hunger.” 4-H project judging takes place the week of July 14. Members choose projects based on their interests and learn more about them by reading and completing a 4-H project book. They then meet with a local expert on the topic to conduct an interview. Members must complete judging to include their projects in the club’s booth at the Canfield Fair. The group is continuing to plan and prep for their booth at the Canfield Fair. Club members will work together to design the booth and then bring it to life.
