General Project Judging Day!

Our Scott County 4-H youth had the opportunity to showcase the projects they've worked so hard on throughout the year. Each project reflects the dedication, skills, and passions of each 4-H member.

Congratulations to all of our 4-H'ers for their hard work and for sharing their accomplishments. We are so proud of you all, and good luck to those heading to the Minnesota State Fair!
