The UF/IFAS Escambia County Extension Office hosted 4-H County Events on March 4, 2023. 4-H County Events consist of competitions in public speaking/horse public speaking, demonstrations and illustrated talks, photography, graphic design, and share-the-fun (talent) activities. The event featured 80 youth, submitting 104 different entries. This year all senior blue-ribbon demonstrations and the top two public speakers and Share-the-Fun participants will go on to District 4-H Events in May. The top junior (8-10 years old), intermediate (11-13 years old), and senior (14+ years old) photographs will now also proceed to the district contest. For graphic design competitions, all blue-ribbon winners will be eligible for the state contest at 4-H University at the University of Florida in July!

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: Colleen Carbone, Melvin Gaylard, Jenice Jones, Louis LeDuc, Anne Peterson, Gwen Shiver, Angela Tinker, and Jennifer Thorne. We would also like to thank the Wide Angle Photo Club for sending members Loretto Sitton, and Richard Smith to judge the photography contest and Escambia County for allowing Allison Woodfin to judge graphic designs.. 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. Congratulations again to all of the 4-H members for their efforts at Escambia County 4-H Events!
