Floyd County 4-H wins big at Cloverleaf Project Achievement
The Northwest District Cloverleaf Project Achievement competition was held virtually this year, due to the pandemic, but Floyd County 4-H students weren’t fazed.
Out of 212 participants from 15 counties, Floyd County had 14 first place winners, seven second place winners, six third place winners and six honorable mentions.
Each student selected a subject and recorded a fourto six-minute presentation along with visual aids for judging.
While the contest itself was very different, the benefits were much the same, according to Floyd County 4-H Agent Abbie Salmon.
“It is so important to give kids the opportunity to compete, put together projects, and practice public speaking skills,” she said. “We were so happy to be able to offer this when so many things have been cancelled due to COVID.”
Local participants were: Hannah Rush, 1st Place Agricultural Awareness; Callie Dempsey, 1st Place Arts; Ashlyn Farmer, 2nd Place Beef; Hannah Hunsaker,1st Place Communications; Newman Attaway, 2nd Place Computer Information Technology; Sadie Bingham, Honorable Mention Dog Care & Training; Kaitlyn Cole, 3rd Place Dog Care & Training; Ben Berry, 3rd Place Engineering
