CHILLICOTHE — Ross County 4-H has a lot to be proud of as over 100 kids were recently selected for the Ohio State Fair from all the participants who attended 4-H Project Judging Day.
During 4-H Project judging day, which is for non-livestock projects, members participate in one-on-one interviews with a judge and are evaluated on interview skills, project and book completion, knowledge and displays. Members are selected in a wide variety of 4-H project areas like food & nutrition, clothing, STEM projects, leadership, health, bicycles, arts and more.
