Born in St. Louis but raised in Colorado, Hannah Barbata started 4-H six years ago as a way to make new friends. She started with rabbits, and this year has animal entries for rabbit, poultry, and goat.
All of the animals were raised under her care. Beyond 4-H, Barbata is involved in many service projects, including quilting, leadership, archery and muzzle loading. She is the treasurer on the county 4-H Council and started her own cake-decorating business.
\u201cI like being busy. It keeps me occupied,\u201d she said. \u201cI like doing 4-H, because I love taking care of animals and having my own responsibility.\u201d
Many months ago, Barbata had to leave a friend\u2019s house late in the night as her goats were being born.
\u201cI sometimes don\u2019t have time for friends, because I have to take care of my animals,\u201d Barbata said. \u201cBut I\u2019m okay with that.\u201d
As of Tuesday afternoon Barbata had won overall grand champion in rabbit, two grand championships and one reserve grand champion in poultry.<\/p>\n
