4-H Presentations

On Tuesday, July 21st, after weeks of preparation,  hundreds of youth from across the state competed in the statewide 4-H Presentation Competition.  Youth presented in three age divisions: 9-10, 11-13 and 14-18.  They competed in over thirty categories including Cookery, Science, Interior Design, Animals, Leadership and Public Speaking.  Most categories allow for props and posters to be used as a demonstration.

Some of this year’s judges were specialists from Duke and NC State Universities.  They were very impressed with this year’s competition and the challenging topics that youth chose.

Youth in several categories who won gold medals will be eligible to compete at National Competition.

Congratulations to all who participated!
