Wayne County 4-H members shined at Pennsylvania Farm Show
The 2022 Pennsylvania Farm Show returned to an in-person event this year and was held on January 8-15th in Harrisburg.
After a year of virtual events for 2021, the theme was tailored around “Harvesting More” and showcased farming practices to obtain sustainable food security. This annual event gives 4-H youth an opportunity to showcase their hard work and dedication in areas such as: raising and showing livestock, arts and crafts, and gardening.
Congratulations to the following Wayne County 4-H members and great work!
