Special County Project Awards

Washington County 4-H’ers had the opportunity to submit non-livestock projects for judging at the Washington County Fair, July 14-19. These projects ranged from food & nutrition to home improvement to science & engineering and garden ideas. They were evaluated on July 13 through conference judging with judges from around the state who have been trained through the Iowa 4-H program.

Several County Project Awards were given this year. These awards are supported by trophy donors who have an interest or business in that particular project area. They were on display all week with the non-livestock displays in Dallmeyer Hall at the county fair.
