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.
Four outstanding Gordon County 4-H’ers earned the opportunity to compete at the state level this year:
Ally Jo Cook participated in the Beef Project
Clayton Haddox competed in the Poultry Project
Candy Romero showcased her work in the Swine Project
William Parish took part in the Public Speaking Project
Their participation at State Congress reflects their dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence within the 4-H program.
Gordon County 4-H and the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension extend congratulations to these students for representing their community with pride and passion.
