Washington County 4-H'ers win photography award

Washington County is proud to have one recipient of only 20 outstanding photography awards sponsored by The Professional Photographers of Iowa at the Iowa State Fair. A 4-H plaque has been awarded to Madison Fishback of Washington Go-Getters 4-H Club for her creative arts photo of a toad.

Iowa has more than 14,000 4-H?ers enrolled in photography, among the highest in the 50 states, according to Mitchell Hoyer, program specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and 4-H Exhibits Building superintendent.

?It?s great that sponsors recognize and encourage youth to explore a wide variety of talents through 4-H projects,? Hoyer said; ?4-H members will be able to experience and experiment with different media through continued support.?
