The members have won the right to participate in this event, sponsored by the Bank of America, by competing in their home counties.

Purpose of the presentation activity in the 4-H club program is to develop self-confidence and communication skills in members. The 4-Hers, ranging in age from 9 to 17 years have worked for several weeks preparing their talks which show or tell about something they are learning in 4-H. Subjects covered by the members represent the wide variety of projects and interests offered in the 4-H program, including leathercraft, woodworking, electricity, sewing, cooking, crafts, child care, citizenship and a selection of animal and agricultural projects. The 57 judges for the event, which will take place in 19 classrooms on the high school campus, include some experienced 4-H members and leaders, teachers, bankers and other businessmen from the community.
