Shackelford County 4-H member Johnnie Hise won sixth place at the 2019 State 4-H Roundup Fashion Show held in College Station last Tuesday, June 11.

Hise, a freshman at Moran High School, qualified for the state-level competition by winning the Cotton Division of the All-Natural Fiber Contest at the District 7 Roundup held in San Angelo on May 10.

Exhibitors at the state contest were evaluated by a panel of judges who ranked each contestant based on their Fashion Show paperwork and an interview.

Exhibitors were expected to demonstrate their ability in areas that included knowledge of the characteristics of cotton fibers and fabrics, wardrobe selection, clothing construction, comparison shopping, fashion interpretation, understanding of style, good grooming, poise in front of others, and personal presentation skills.

“Johnnie had a lot of fun at Roundup, and she learned a lot,” said her mother Jo Hise. “Her goal for next year is to lead more 4-H clothing activities with the club, and she plans on participating in the clothing project contest again next year.”
