Permian Basin 4-H Modeling Show

Wow!  Ector County did an amazing job modeling at the Permian Basin 4-H Modeling Show!  We had eight beautiful models!  Each was poised and prepared for their time on stage.  Ector County took home several ribbons and plaques - including a plaque for "Best County Participation"!  Impressive!  Thank you to each 4-H member who participated and made the best - BETTER at the Permian Basin Fair.  (To see resullts of the PB Fair - select "results" on above tool bar). 

All of our gorgeous models also participated in the "4-H Extreme Makeover Workshop" as well.  Odessa College Cosmetology Department, Shawnte with Mary Kay Cosmetics, Heavenly Cuts Salon from Midland and Marcy Hubbard (modeling) were all guests at the workshop.  Thirty nine girls in all enjoyed a few hours of hair and makeup tips along with some pampering!  Fun Times!!
