and Thursday. This year three Prairie County senior 4-H members were eligible to compete in their respective competitions at State O-Rama. Aleigha Smith received 1st Place in Illustrated Talks Consumer Economics and 2nd place in Consumer Decision Making. Kaylyn Cannon brought home 3rd place in

Illustrated Talks Innovative Technology. Angela Hoover represented the county in Performing Arts Vocal, which is one of the most competitive events of the week.

Other highlights of O-

Rama included: a college and career fair, tours of the U of A campus and departments; workshops; the Awards of Excellence Banquet; O-Rama recognition assemblies; and a night at the Jones Center in Springdale.
