4-H Project Judging Workshop

by

The Licking County 4-H Food and Fashion Board will be hosting at 4-H Project Judging Workshop on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 6:30pm at the Licking County Extension Office. This workshop is designed to help members taking still projects (clothing, food, and/or special interest) know what they need to bring to project judging, what to expect when they arrive to judging, and give tips on making judging a positive experience. There will be sample projects available to view, and we will answer all of your questions. This workshop would be very beneficial to members who are new to taking still projects.

Please RSVP by Monday, June 24, 2024 at http://go.osu.edu/4HProjectWorkshop. This will allow us to know how many participants to expect for the program.
