Washington County 4-H Communications Night held
The Washington County 4-H Communications Night was held on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Sixty 4-H’ers gave educational presentations and seven participated in the extemporaneous speaking division. 4-H prides itself on developing good communicators. This is one activity to build those skills.
Congratulations to all participants on a job well done. 4-H Communications Night is held in conjunction with the Washington County Fair. For more information on how to get involved with 4-H youth as a volunteer, contact the Washington County Extension Office, 319-653-4811, or check on the web at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/washington/
