Washington County 4-H Communications Night held
The Washington County 4-H Communications Night was held on Wednesday, July 14 at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Fifty-three 4-H’ers gave educational presentations and five participated in the extemporaneous speaking division.
“4-H prides itself on developing good communicators,” said Washington County 4-H & Youth Coordinator Amy Green. “This is one activity to build those skills.”
4-H Communications Night is held in conjunction with the Washington County Fair, which runs Sunday through next Friday, July 23. For more information on how to get involved with 4-H youth as a volunteer, contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811, or check on the web at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/washington/.
