Richmond County 4-H Showmen Are Great!!

It's been another busy couple weeks for our Richmond County 4-H Goat Showmen! Several of them recently competed at the Cumberland and Anson County Shows and did very well. It's hard to believe that we only have 2 more shows before the State Fair. Be sure to tell these 4-H'ers how proud you are of them the next time you see them!

On a windy night at the Cumberland County Fair, Christin Deese and Jordan Carroll finished 1st & 2nd in the Junior 9-10 class. Junior 11-13 is always a tough class to judge and had Ryan McInnis in 1st, Sarah Maske 3rd, Elizabeth Deese 4th, and Grayson McQueen 7th.

The Anson County Agricultural Expo was also held last weekend and Richmond County 4-H was again in the top placings! The Junior 9-10 class finished with Christin Deese in 2nd, first year showmen Madelyn Chappell in 3rd, and Jordan Carroll in 6th place. Richmond County took 4 of the top five spots in the Junior 11-13 class where Ryan McInnis took 1st place, Elizabeth Deese came in 2nd, first year showmen Trey McInnis finished 4th and Sarah Maske took 5th place. The Senior division found Abby Allen in 1st place, Michael Ezzell in 3rd and Nathan Ezzell in 7th.

We continue to be amazed by the growth and responsibility that these young people are showing through these projects! Great Job!!
