Wood County 4-H & FFA Summer Showcase Still Project Awards

The Wood County 4-H displayed 152 exhibits at the Wood County 4-H and FFA Summer Showcase. In addition to the 90 4-H still project exhibits, there was a youth Art Contest exhibit sponsored by the Parkersburg Art Center, a Photography Contest exhibit sponsored by Neal Smith Images, and a Pet Show sponsored by Warner Kia. The West Virginia Central Credit Union was a gold sponsor of the event, Fordyce Livestock sponsored inflatables for the kids, and Boso Equipment sponsored the Division Street band. We appreciate all of the support of our sponsors. Without them, this event would not be possible.
