The day consisted of Educational Presentations, Clothing Selections, $15 Clothing Challenge, Working Exhibits, and Extemporaneous Speaking, as well as Share the Fun acts followed by a Fashion Show. In the Educational Presentation Exhibits, youth provided a presentation on a topic of their choice to inform an audience. In the clothing selection, youth choose an outfit that represents their goal or intended use for the outfit. The outfit may be purchased from any source. The $15 clothing challenge participants chose an outfit that represents their goal or intended use of the outfit.  The outfits entered in the $15 challenge must be purchased at a garage sale or consignment type shop and cost less than $15. In the Working Exhibit participants interact with an audience and teach them about a topic of their choice. The working exhibit category is a hands activity for the audience.
