Demo: "All 4-H Projects"

Home  ›  Contests  ›  Demo: "All 4-H Projects"

Thank you contest sponsors!

Description: Using posters, displays and other visual aids, youth prepare and deliver a presentation on any topic.  Youth may choose to use either a demonstration format or an illustrated talk.  In a demonstration format, the child shows or demonstrates the steps to make a final product. In an illustrated talk, the member provides information about a topic, without actually demonstrating how to make a product.  Youth can give their demonstration on any 4-H project topic.

Dates:  Youth can schedule an appointment with Wendy Rees (399-8202) to compete on one of the following contest dates.  Appointments will be scheduled in 15 minute intervals.  Once an appointment has been scheduled, youth must either participate or cancel at least one week in advance.  If they are a no show for the contest, they will not be allowed to reschedule to compete in that specific contest.
