Marlo has volunteered for 4-H since she was 8-years-old, helping her parents superintendent static exhibit areas at the Lancaster County Super Fair. About ten years ago she became co-superintendent of the Science, Engineering & Technology and Safety areas with her dad. She is also co-superintendent of the Bicycle Safety Contest with her sister.
“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it’s just something we have always done as a family for three days during the summer — it is a part of summer,” she says. “I enjoy seeing the judges, 4-H’ers and parents. I especially enjoy seeing the 4-H’ers grow from year to year. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is seeing the interactions between the judge and 4-H’ers during interview judging — it is a wonderful learning/teaching experience.”
