4-H'ers compete in Comm Arts

Five 4-H club members from Eddy County competed April 23, 2023 in the county's 4-H Communication Arts Contest held at the Eddy County Extension office. The Communication Arts Contest is the 4-H speech and demonstration competition that is held at the county, district level and state contest levels. Participants are encouraged to use their own creativity and originality in preparing their public presentation. The Communication Arts program is open to any youth involved in extension youth programs. It includes three age divisions: the Cloverbuds (youth ages 5-7) the Junior division (youth ages 8-12) and the Senior division (youth ages 13-18).

Rosettes were provided to event winners as well as participation ribbons for non-competitive Clo­verbuds.
