The Marshall County 4-H Communications Contest was held March 25th at the Marshall County Extension Office. Four youth gave presentations on a wide variety of subjects.
Participants are advised to choose a topic that interests them so they can convey their excitement about the subject to the audience. We had 4-Hers from Marshall County High School, Christian Fellowship School, Central Elementary, and a local homeschool student to enter the contest.
In the 4-H Communications Contest, students compete by age in speeches and by topic in demonstrations. At the county contest, Hadley Davis (9 Year Old Speech) and Baella Morgan (15 Year Old Speech) competed in the Speech categories. Those who gave a demonstration included Lexie Driver (Junior—Agriculture) and Zoey Ramsey (Senior—Animal Science).
Based on the Danish ribbon system, all participants received a blue ribbon for the quality of their presentations. All four of the youth qualified for the Purchase Area 4-H Communications Day Contest scheduled for May 2nd in Paducah.
The event could not be held without the help and service of community and 4-H volunteers. Judges for this year’s contest were Nick Burroughs and John Miller.
