Everyone wins in 4-H tie-dye contest

This summer, Milam County 4-H members participated in multiple activities because summer camps were not an option.

These activities were safe and easy to do at home with their families.

One activity this year was the Tie Dye T-shirt Contest.

Participants (4-Hers and non 4-H members) were able to make tie-dye T-shirts at home and enter them in our contest.

The Bakken family used crushed berries to make their shirts and learned new ways other than dye.

Hadley Wagner decided to also make a mask to go with her outfit to wear to school for the new year.

The shirts ended up so cute we posted them all and declared them winners.

Thank you to Mayfield Dairy Queen for sponsoring our prizes for the youth doing 4-H activities this summer. It has made a huge difference.

Thank you to everyone for supporting 4-H.
