4-H Fashion Show takes place at Nebraska State Fair
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) – 4-H members had the opportunity to model clothing they bought or created.
There were three 4-H fashion shows, all had over 100 contestants and several categories.
They walked down the runway, presented their attire to judges, and for a few young participants, it was their first time and a learning experience.
“I think it was a great experience for everyone,” said Bynlee Krueger of Pierce county. “All the girls did so great and the boys obviously did great as well.”
“I learned that you just need to be confident and have fun,” said Jozie Pierce of Cuming county.
The kids also get pointers before the show begins.
“We actually have a rehearsal,” said the 4-H Youth Development Extension Educator UNL. “They get to practice, we tell them how they should walk down the runway, what to do when they get on the runway, what to do when they get in front of the judges.”
Contestants are scored on how they model, how the clothing fits them, how it’s constructed, straightness of the hem, stitching, and creativity.
Out of over 100 contestants there were two winners for best in show and they share what inspired their attire.
“I had recently been like looking at like things like this because I needed some for like interviewing and different business things like I go on and I realize that I can definitely make it for a lot cheaper than just buying it so that’s what made me do it,” said Best in Show, Madison Enstron of Burt county.
“I went to see the musical ‘Six’ and I loved the outfits and the outfits were so cool,” said Best in Show, Antoey Dickman of Gage county. “So when I say the pattern that had all the elements on it I knew that I had to sew that this year.”
Both winners said there’s room for improvement before they defend their crowns next year.

Nebraska football landed a commitment from former Kentucky Wildcats receiver Dane Key on Tuesday afternoon. He is the tenth overall player to join Nebraska from the transfer portal.
He recorded 47 catches for 715 yards and two touchdowns last season. He had two games of at least 100 receiving yards in 2024. The first game was against Ohio on September 21. He caught seven passes for 145 yards in a contest. He followed that up with an eight-catch, 105-yard performance against the Ole Miss Rebels the following week.
Key gives the Huskers a veteran body in the wide receiver room. There is young talent to be had at the position. He will be able to provide production right now, as well as help bridge the gap between the freshman and upperclassmen wide receivers.
It will be interesting to see Key’s role in this offense moving into 2025. This was a solid get for a wide receiver room that continues loading up. The program landed another solid weapon for quarterback Dylan Raiola.

Joining Miami (Ohio)’s Javon Tracy and UCLA’s Logan Loya, Nebraska transfer wide receiver Malachi Coleman has committed to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
He has three years of eligibility remaining.
Coleman was a high school All-American, a four-star prospect, and a Top 100 recruit according to 247 Sports. He saw the field as a true freshman with the Huskers, catching eight passes for 139 receiving yards and one touchdown, before redshirting this season as a sophomore. Coleman brings size and speed to the Gophers’ wide receiver room.
Coleman, Tracy, and Loya will all have the opportunity to stake their claim atop the depth chart at wide receiver, as Le’Meke Brockington and Cristian Driver are Minnesota’s only returning wide receivers with game experience.
Nebraska closes out the 2024 season on Saturday, Dec. 28 in the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College.
Inside Nebraska’s Tim Verghese and Steve Marik break down the new-look Huskers, with slight changes at nearly every position due to transfer portal departures, injuries and opt outs. The two discuss a handful of underclassmen that could be in line for bigger roles on Saturday and a few other players they’re intrigued to see in action.
To close, the two share their keys to victory for Nebraska, what to expect out of Boston College and what a win would ultimately mean for the program
