4-H members from across Marshall and Putnam counties participated in the Marshall-Putnam 4-H Show which was held July 17-20 at the Marshall-Putnam fairgrounds in Henry. The 4-H Show is where the youth display what they have learned during the last 4-H year.

Of course, the Show does not go on without the help of many volunteers. The volunteers work many positions such as judges, assistant judges, superintendents, junior superintendents, set up and take down crew, cleaning crew, building supervisors, food stand helpers and pie makers.  I am so grateful to each one of you.  It also takes many trophy sponsors to pull off an event like this. We appreciate your commitment to the Marshall-Putnam 4-H program and the youth served in our counties.

We are proud of the accomplishments of all our 4-H members. Many youth received special awards for their livestock and general projects, and many were promoted as State Fair delegates and alternates.
