Raegen Vickers, of the Gold Medal 4-H Club, received two "Clock Trophies," at the recent Ohio
State Fair. One was in Leadership for her One-on-one project; and the other was in Team Demonstration.
The clock trophy is the top award for 4-H projects at the state level. In order to receive the trophy, a
4-H member must first qualify to advance to state as one of the top projects from the county. Once at
the state, the project must receive the "Outstanding of the Day" award.
Then from all the outstanding awards, one clock trophy is presented for each project.
Vickers also earned outstanding of the day awards for It’s Time For Clothing Intermediate in the fashion
category.
Hannah Bakies, also of Gold Medal 4-H, also received a clock trophy in the Team Demonstration along with
Vickers.
The only other Wood County 4-H member to earn a clock trophy was Trey Yarger, Golden Key 4-H Club, who
earned the top honor for his Lawn Care Junior project in small engines and lawn care category. Other
