West Virginia 4-H Recognizes 53 Presentation Expo Participants

West Virginia 4-H is proud to recognize 53 participants from 13 counties for their creativity and hard work in making their virtual presentations for the 2021 State 4-H Presentation Expo! 

The State 4-H Presentation Expo is an annual event that provides an opportunity for 4-H members to gain public speaking skills across three presentation types: 1) Public Speaking, 2) PowerPoint/Digital Presentation, and 3) Visual Presentations. New to the expo this year was the 4-H Creed contest. 4-H members submitted pre-recorded presentations they conducted in their county level contest to the state-level contest where they were judged by a range of Extension Faculty & Staff, 4-H volunteers, and collegiate 4-H'ers.

Six (6) presentations will be chosen to represent West Virginia 4-H in the first annual virtual Northeast States 4-H Presentations Fest on Saturday, September 18, 2021. This event is for 4-H members between the ages of 13 and 19. Registration will open in summer 2021.

Again, congratulations to ALL 2021 Virtual State 4-H Presentation Expo participants on a job well done! We can not wait to see how you put your public speaking skills to good use in the future! 

You can view participants from across the state by ribbon color below.
