[April 11, 2022]
The 4-H Public Speaking project focuses on supporting youth in
developing and strengthening their abilities and confidence to speak
in front of people. Giving presentations helps develop many life
skills including the ability to speak in front of a group, organize
ideas, and create and present in 4-H. The public speaking contest
provides youth with an opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of
public speaking in front of their family, friends, community members
and a judge. This year Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties held a
multi county show on April 7 at the Sangamon County Extension
Office. Guests present included the McBrian Lincoln Douglas
Toastmaster Club.
4-H members that were selected as state fair delegates include, Rose
Catterson (Logan), Ellie Wrage (Logan), Charlotte Judd (Logan),
Allison O'Neill (Menard), Samantha O'Neill (Menard), Nolan Komnick
(Sangamon) and Austin Komnick (Sangamon). The selected 4-H members
have the opportunity to compete at the State 4-H Public Speaking
Contest held on April 30 at Parkland Community College in Champaign,
IL.
The overall Public Presentation Champion award was presented to
Allison O'Neill (Menard), Samantha O'Neill (Menard). The overall
Public Presentation Reserve Champion award was presented to Ellie
Wrage (Logan). Thank you to Country Financial – Joe Ryan for
sponsoring the public presentation awards.
