On April 22, Nassau County 4-H members competed in district events, winning several awards in the public speaking, demonstrations and share-the-fun divisions.
Nassau County youth who qualify at the county level compete at this event alongside youth from Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Flagler and Putnam counties. This year Nassau County sent five youth to compete at the event held in Duval County.
Trinity Bryant, Gabe Kawchak and Caleb Bryant all competed in share-the-fun talent competition at the junior or intermediate level. Trinity won a blue ribbon for her ukulele solo while Gabe won a red ribbon for his karate demonstration and Caleb won a red ribbon for his bass clarinet solo.
Izzy Frazier and Zachary Hutchinson competed in the senior level demonstration competition. Izzy shared how to groom a show chicken and Zach spoke about chicken breeds. Izzy and Zach both received blue ribbons for their performances and are eligible to move on to the state competition in Gainesville this summer.
