Artastic Results

 4-H Artastic is our visual arts contest for our talented youth.  Artastic encompasses all the youth categories of the fair and allows our youth to enter their items in the fair after judging for our contest.  This year we had more entries than we have had in more than five years.  It's wonderful to see this program grow and pick up steam from our 4-H members.  Without further ado, here are our winners for 2023.  Ribbons and checks will be given at 4-H appreciation night on December 8.
