It was a great year for local 4-H’ers Marissa and Sadie Mortenson, who qualified for the State Fair in six events.
Marissa will participate in photography while Sadie will sing “The Rose” on the State Fair Performing Arts Stage for the general encampment, when the girls stay at the state fairgrounds.
Marissa has qualified the last couple years and had a blast with other fellow 4-H’ers. This will be Sadie's first year staying up there. She's excited to meet new people, learn new things and make new friends.
At the end of September, they will both go up with their dogs to the 4-H State Dog Show.
