For years Kentucky Youth Livestock Programs has sent the Reserve Champion Senior Skillathon Team from the KY State 4-H Skillathon Contest to the National 4-H Quiz Bowl contest in Louisville, KY. While this has been a great way to have a team compete and represent Kentucky 4-H in the National 4-H Quiz Bowl Contest, there has been a need to identify the most qualified team to represent in Louisville. In the fall of 2021 the plans to develop and execute a State 4-H Quiz Bowl contest began. In January of 2022 the first ever Kentucky State 4-H Quiz Bowl contest took place in Lexington, KY. The contest was a great success with 5 senior and 6 junior teams participating. The hope is to continue to grow numbers within the contest, but without a doubt this contest provides another educational opportunity for youth in 4-H livestock programs. There is endless possibilities for this contest and the excitment around it will continue to expand.
