Last weekend, the DeWitt County 4-H Show kicked off with a full day of horse shows. 

Kendra Wallace with the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt counties explains that now with the horse shows out of the way, the rest of the projects will be shown starting this Thursday through Sunday. She notes visual arts have been a big category in recent years. 

Wallace indicates that they've changed the schedule a bit this year. While in the past, judging would continue all day, this year they have scheduled a break at 1 PM to allow judges time to get lunch. This is also to be sensitive to any religious observances. 

The show will wrap up on Sunday with the Awards Ceremony. Wallace says the Class Champion, as well as other winners, will be awarded.
