The photo contest provided a showcase for 4-H members’ photographic accomplishments. The winning photographs were displayed with the intent of increasing public awareness and understanding of the 4-H program and the top overall photo taken by Katherine Ballard is being exhibited inside the Langley Bell 4-H Center.

County Events would not be possible without our many adult volunteers. They serve as judges, room monitors, scorekeepers, and more! A big thank you goes out to our speech and talent judges and volunteers for all of their hard work: Mary Ballard, Kim Camacho, Colleen Carbone, Thomas Dague, Laura Lawhon, Denise Mann, Jessie Massey, Josh McLamb, Quintin Mengerink, Cheryl Nelson, Taylor Nelson, Kaycee Patel, Christine Rodgers, Gwen Shiver, and Dawn Vose. We would also like to thank the Wide Angle Photo Club for sending members John Mankelwicz, Kristie Moore, and Loretto Sitton to judge the photography contest. If this sounds fun and you want to help make the best, better, then please consider volunteering with Escambia County 4-H. Please call the 4-H office at 850-475-5230 to get started today.
