Getting ready for the big show.Alex Thompson and Heidi Spainhour prepare Tybee Block Anna to be shown during the 4-H AgFest last Saturday in Pittsboro. Spainhour has been showing animals for two years. Loretta Batchelor, co-leader of the Chatham County Charging Champoins 4H club, said that raising a cow as part of their program teaches children responsibility, care and compassion. Participants help with vaccines, grooming and washing the animals. ‘It takes a lot of daily work,’ she said.
