Boy standing in front of tableOn April 19-21, 2021, Rowan County 4-H’ers competed in 4-H presentations and 4-H talent competitions for our annual County Activity Day. Typically, this event happens face-to-face, but this year, these competitions occurred virtually. Ten 4-H’ers worked to prepare 5- to 12-minute speeches on a topic of their choice and then presented them to two judges via Zoom. One 4-H’er participated in the Outdoor Cookery Competition and one 4-H’er participated in 4-H talent where they submitted a video that was judged. Congratulations to this year’s participants.
