The Gordon County 4-H Consumer Judging team will begin the season for the new year starting Tuesday, September 3rd from 5:00-7:00 p.m. In this contest, youth learn about how to be a smart shopper and compete with others in judging consumer items, as well as adding a little dramatic flair with a commercial about cotton. Judging items this year are breakfast cereals, jeans, tents, and event venues. The area contest will be held in Cartersville on November 12. Last year’s junior team won first place at the area contest, and 4-H’ers from Gordon County were 1st and 3rd place in the senior division, and 1st place in the junior division. The team is open to 4th-12th graders, and youth can join by showing up at the first practice session. For more information, please contact the Gordon County Extension/4-H office at 706-629-8685.
