Friday's theme at the Iowa State Fair is "Iowa 4-H Day," where youth from across the state showcase their livestock, horticulture and art projects.
"[4-H] has given me more confidence in myself and I've been able to learn more skills through it," said Caydi Schafer, a 4-H member from Harrison County. "We contribute to some nonprofit organizations, and through 4-H, are able to better them and get them more attention."
"It means a lot, especially because I worked really hard to get here and not many kids from my county get selected to be here the way I am," Sophia Costello, a Clinton County 4-H member, said. "It means a lot to me."
