The Auburn Swine 4-H Club held a skillathon practice at the Patterson Center at 6:30 p.m. July 13. The practice skillathon was designed to prepare everyone for the actual skillathon to be held on the following Saturday morning.
Skillathon at the Geauga County Fair is designed for all 4-H members showing animals to be sold in the livestock auction, no matter the club. According to the Ohio Junior Fair, skillathon is an event to test an individual’s knowledge of a specific subject matter using the learning model of exploring, reflecting and applying that knowledge. Portions of the members’ project books are to be completed and members are tested on topics like breeds, cuts of meat and diseases.
Skillathon was held the morning of July 18. Breakfast food was available and the proceeds were donated to the Geauga County Hunger Task Force.
