Twenty-four 4-H members took part in 4-H’s first-ever Virtual 4-H Judging Clinic, held on October 3-4, using virtual technologies. In Saturday’s morning session, participants worked through a judging workshop and learned what judging is all about. A highlight of the morning session was when members had to find an impromptu judging class in their own homes! Household items that were judged including blankets, paints, chocolate bars, mugs, magnets and more! In the afternoon, 13 competitive participants attended an information session where they learned how to use the online judging platforms, in order to judge the following online classes: Beef, Light Horse, Swine and Yellow Peas. Viterra representative Jeff Danielson gave a very informative in-person presentation about judging the Yellow Peas class. Other judges viewed the classes online and provided organizers with placings and cuts for their classes, though they did attend the virtual event. Class judges included: Carla Borsa (Beef); Emily Letendre (Light Horse) and Rebecca Longworth (Swine). On Sunday all competitive participants were given a timeslot to present their oral reasons virtually with Oral Reasons Judge Kim McLean, who then provided feedback to each of the members on how to improve their oral reasons presentation skills.
