Dakota & Thurston County 4-Her’s got the chance to participate at the 4-H Public Speaking and Favorite Food Contests, held on April 15, 2023 at the United Church of Pender. Our judges for the morning were Mary Loftis and Karna Dam, and we want to give them a big thanks for making this experience possible for our local 4-H youth! Since we had two judges this year, we decided to have one do the Music Contest and the other do the Public Speaking/PSA, and then we had both of them judge the Favorite Foods Revue together!
