🐐 Small Animal Summer Showdown
🎤 Oral Presentations
🏆 County & State Events
🐄 Livestock Shows
📚 4-H Activities & Projects
🤝 Any other great 4-H moments from the year!

Please help us showcase the hard work, dedication, friendships and memories that makes our 4-H program so special! ❤️

👉 PLEASE LABEL EACH PHOTO WITH THE EVENT IT IS FROM AND (if possible) THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE PHOTO so we can make sure everything is properly identified for the slideshow.
