Genesee County 4-H members participated in the 2017 Finger Lakes District 4-H Public Presentations and Horse Communications Contests on Saturday, April 1. 4-H members from across the region came together to compete at the district level and gave presentations in front of a panel of volunteer judges.
The 4-H Public Presentations Program gives youth an opportunity to improve their public speaking skills in a fun, competitive format. The 4-H Horse Communications Program is a public speaking contest in which youth give a presentation on an equine related topic. Members qualified to compete in the regional contests by giving an outstanding presentation at the Genesee County 4-H Public Presentations Contest in February.
Representing Genesee County at the Finger Lakes District 4-H Public Presentations Contest were: Melissa Keller – “Veterinary Feed Directives,” Becky Kron – “Cross Country,” Clare Mathes – “Foxes,” Teagan Mathes – “Greek Mythology” and Amanda Shisler – “Fire Safety.”
Representing Genesee County at the Regional Horse Communications Contest were: Alianna Baris – “I Can’t See, Equine Eye Diseases,” Emily Boldt – “Equine Neurological Disorders” and Katie Ewert – “Go Ahead and Jump.”
