Jackson County 4-H Wins Big at North Florida Fair
The 4-H youth of Jackson County made quite a showing at the 2014 North Florida Fair! Over 30 Jackson County 4-H youth from the Country Bumpkins 4-H Club, the Jackson County 4-H Livestock Club, the Jackson County 4-H Robotics Club and the Jackson County 4-H Buckaroos Horse Club, participated in events ranging from exhibiting fine arts, participating on agricultural judging teams, robotics teams, and exhibiting cattle.
If you visited the North Florida Fair this year, you would have seen 4-H club booths and decorated hay roles from the Jackson County 4-H Livestock Club and the Jackson County 4-H Buckaroos Horse Club.
Jackson County can be very proud of the hard work and dedication of the 4-H club members, club leaders, and 4-H parents.
The Jackson County 4-H program is growing more and more every day.
