Many of the 4-H members from Logan, Menard, and
Sangamon Counites earned special awards for their project exhibits
at the 2022 Illinois State Fair. Eighty-two local 4-Hers exhibited
their project work alongside 4-Hers from across the state in the
Orr Building on Sunday, August 14. These members were chosen to
advance to the Illinois State Fair after exhibiting outstanding
project work at their local 4-H shows earlier in the summer.
Twenty-eight local exhibitors received special awards at the State
Fair in recognition of their excellent project work.
We are proud of our all our 4-H members who exhibited at the
Illinois State Fair, and we are happy to see how many were
recognized with special awards, said Youth Development Educator
Carissa Davis. We are excited to see how these young people will
continue to grow their skills in the coming year.
