"I like watching the joy of accomplishment by the 4-H'ers," says Kristy. "4-H offers a great learning experience for the kids to improve their life skills. 4-H has given me a great opportunity to spend time with my daughters and now my grandson, learning and improving skills while working on a project. I enjoy the County Fair. I love seeing all the final projects by the 4-H'ers. There are a lot of talented and creative young people. Judging day is always busy but very rewarding."
Kristy is a member of the East Campus Starrs group, which sponsors the four plaques awarded in the Home Environment and Child Development areas at county fair. She is also active in her church.
