Sign up Today for the Fashion Revue

The 4-H Fashion Revue is an experience for 4-H members designed to promote skills in construction, selection, and coordination of clothing. 4-H members will have the opportunity to model clothing in two creative categories. The sewing category allows 4-H members to model clothing they have entered in the 4-H Fair. In the Fashion Magic category, 4-H’ers model outfits and accessories that they have purchased and assembled.
