Outcome: Initial Outcome

While the covid restrictions on in-person 4-H events continued, the county 4-H Communications opportunities did not.  Utilizing the schools' Google Classroom tool, agent was able to work with youth interested in competing in both demonstrations and talk meet again this year.  Some of the youth who participated in the last Fall-Spring event, served as leaders in getting youth new to the contests more comfortable.  As a result, there were nine county champion videos sent to district in the various categories, eight of which have been submitted to the state as the district champions.  The results of the state competition are pending at this time, but the youth and leaders waiting to hear have already expressed their excitement and appreciation of the opportunity to participate at a time when so many other activities had been cancelled.
