Several DeKalb County 4-H members recently participated in the Sub-regional Project Achievement day that was held in Cookeville. They gave presentations related to one of the 26 project areas offered in 4-H. 4th and 5th graders participate in the demonstration contest where they have to explain how to do something or how it works. 6th-8th graders participate in the exhibit contest which can be like a science project or a general information board. Both contests require the student to explain their project in 1-3 minutes to the judges. 4-H members are judged on communication skills, creativity, props, and overall appearance of the display boards. DeKalb County was well represented by the following students:
