Judges Fannie Clyburn and Jesse Blakeney look through participants’ garments for the 4-H Fashion Revue and Creative Talent show on May 19.
WADESBORO — For this year’s Fashion Revue and Creative Talent show, youth participants submitted videos of themselves modeling garments to be judges and for their chance to win 4-H scholarships.
Two judges, Fannie Clyburn and Jesse Blakeney, judged the 4-H Fashion Revue and Creative Talent program on May 19 in Clyburn’s sewing shop.
“It is truly amazing what children can do these days,” Blakeney said in a press release.
In a non-pandemic world, parents, friends and relatives attend the fashion and talent show at the Anson Cooperative Extension Center. Children model the garments they made. But this year, participants modeled their garments on video.
First and second place winners in Fashion Revue will receive $20 and $15 scholarships to be used towards a 4-H event or trip. Non-garment participants will receive $15 and $10 in scholarships. Cloverbuds will receive $10 or $5 for participation for either making garments or non-garments.
Creative Talent winners receive $12, $8 and $5 for first and second place. All Clovebuds are awarded $5 for participating.
The Fashion Revue winners are:
• 1st: Zoe Martin
• 2nd: Laia Smith-Maxwell
• 3rd: Amelia Poplin
In the non-garment category, Amelia Poplin came in first place. Zaire Smith-Maxwell won the Colverbud Fashion.
The Creative Talent winners are:
