Liberty County 4-H competed in the Southeast District Project Achievement Competition held at Rock Eagle 4-H Center from February 9-11.

District Project Achievement, or DPA, is a public speaking competition where 4-H’ers choose a topic of interest and present a 10-12-minute (seniors) or 608-minute (juniors) speech on a subject. They also are required to submit a portfolio that represents all their hard work over the past year in categories such as community service, leadership, and other 4-H activities.

Liberty County had eight 4-H’ers attend this competition in grades 7-12, with six placing in their category.

Because Daisy Clay placed first in her category, she will represent Liberty County as a delegate at State Congress. State Congress is the premier statewide competition held in Atlanta each summer.
