Several Lehigh 4-H members were awarded the honor of Best in Show for their 4-H entries at the 2022 Great Allentown Fair.

The winning entries are as follows:

Allison Emanuel for her produce basket, Jonas Geiger of Schnecksville for his woodworking, Krista Lynch of Schnecksville for her sweater, Kamryn Fink of Germansville for her cake, Allison Emanuel of Laurys Station for her painting, and Rebecca Galius of Macungie for her vase arrangement.

The entries were all created as part of a 4-H project that showcases the member’s skills and what they have learned through their time in 4-H.

Jonas’s table was constructed during his time in the Neff’s Clovers Club where they had a woodworking segment with craftsmen, Mike Stelts.

Allison, a member of the Farm to Table club, utilized her skills to put together a beautiful market basket featuring tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and garlic.

Krista chose to create a sweater as a sewing project in the Neff’s Clovers Club.

Kamryn took part in the new Virtual Cooking Club and used the information and techniques she learned there to bake a prize-winning cake.

Many of these members exhibited in multiple categories including vegetables, photography, drawings, posters, and PowerPoint presentations.
