All year, Cloverleaf 4-H’ers from age 9 through sixth grade have been researching, writing and practicing 4-6 minute illustrated talks.

The second level of competition is County Project Achievement where 117 4-H’ers representing 36 clubs competed.

Oak Hill Elementary had the most competitors with 31. Newton County Theme School had 18; 14 came from South Salem; 12 competed from Flint Hill; and East Newton brought 10 youths.

The top three in each project area can move on to district competition.
