4-H'ers compete in the County Roundup

    Have you ever watched a movie where the people are all dressed in business suits, sitting around a table, and someone is giving a presentation? Some of the presenters may have been using posters or a media presentation, and some may have been using models or props, while others may only be delivering words to relay their point. If you have seen this, then you know what an educational presentation is!
    A 4-H educational presentation is a demonstration of the knowledge and skills in a certain project area. This presentation is done in a way that is most comfortable to you. It can be accomplished using props (method demonstration), posters or media presentations (illustrated talk), or it can be you just speaking and convincing,  or simply educating, with words alone (public speaking).
    A brave group of 4-H'ers competed this last weekend in the Kaufman County 4-H Roundup in the Educational Presentation contest to qualify for District Competition.  Presentations on Fire Safety to Showing Market Hogs was demonstrated.
