Gordon County was well represented at the 82nd Annual Georgia 4-H State Congress, held in Atlanta from July 22–25, where top 4-H members from across the state came together to compete, connect, and celebrate their achievements.
This prestigious event marks the culmination of the 4-H year, featuring state-level competitions in Project Achievement and Leadership in Action. In addition to youth contests, the State Congress also honors outstanding 4-H professionals, supporters, and public officials who help drive the success of the 4-H program throughout Georgia.
