Local 4-H leaders bring home the gold in statewide competitions in fashion and more
Polk County 4- H seniors brought home wins from recent competition at Georgia 4-H State Congress.
Zoey Myrick placed 2nd in the Fashion Revue division while Shannon Williams placed 3rd in the History division with her speech on The History of the City of Aragon.
They competed along with hundreds of other 4- H’ers from every county in Georgia.
Earlier this year, to move on to the State Congress level, Shannon and Zoey first had to compete in their District Project Achievement competition where they both won in their respective categories.
They both had to complete a portfolio or journal of all their work for the past year, which included project work, community and volunteer service and leadership activities and present a speech along with posters and visual aids in their category.
Georgia 4-H Congress includes project competition, special events recognition, scholarship recognition and volunteer recognition. It is a one of the premiere events of Georgia 4-H and recognizes the work of hundreds of hours of 4-H work.
4- H Project Achievement is a cornerstone in the Georgia 4-H program.
From the first Boys Corn Club sharing their crop to today’s presentation and portfolios on hundreds of projects, Project Achievement serves to showcase 4-H’ers work and success.
Upcoming 4-H activities include club meetings, fair activities, Cottonboll and Consumer Judging classes and competition as well as beginning the next Project Achievement Event.
