The Chilton County 4-H held their annual 4-H County Round Up event in April that showcased students’ skills in a variety of skillsets and crowned winners in 11 different project competitions. The County Round Up is the culmination event of all the 4-H project competitions held for students throughout the year.

“We have had a wonderful time in 4-H this year, and County Round Up is a great way to showcase the incredible talents of our 4-H youth,” Krystal Vaith, Chilton County 4-H Extension Agent, said.

The 4-H competitions this year included — 4-H Bake Off, $15 Challenge, Blocks Rock, Container Gardening, Creative Endeavors, eXtreme Birdhouse, Freestyle Showcase, Graphic Design, Speak Up Alabama, The World I See and What Wood U Build. Students competed in three separate levels — junior, intermediate and senior.
