| Event: | State 4-H Project Expo Virtual The COVID cancellations of our State Fair may have some youth wishing they could still find a way to showcase their projects from the 4-H year.
For those youth, we are offering Project Expo virtually!
The event will be held on July 27 and 28, with awards of excellence, announced on Wednesday the 29 at 9 am Central time.
Youth that wish to participate in this event should sign up for a 20-minute time slot. The registration will ask for two pictures. One should be a picture of only the presentation board, and the other a picture of the youth with the board. When taking these pictures, make sure to show the whole board with little background to highlight the board best.
Once registrations are complete, youth will be sent information on how to connect during their time and details for the event. Once logged onto Zoom, youth will stand with their presentation board and answer questions posed by judges about what they learned by participating in this project.
Registration will close on July 22.
We hope youth that need this closure for projects will join us on July 27 or 28 for a fun virtual Project Expo!
