Clinton County 4-H Contest Day
What would Clinton County kids know about Oreo Cupcakes, Lemon Fuzzy’s, Bow Safety, Rag Wreath, or Pinecone Birdfeeders? If you had an opportunity to be at the annual Clinton County Spring Contest Day, March 9, at the Plattsburg Middle School, you would have been amazed at the project knowledge shared through demonstrations and speeches by over 50 Clinton County 4-H youth!
