The 4-H year has come to an end, and the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties is celebrating a successful fair season. 

On the WHOW Morning Show, Tuesday, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator Kendra Wallace told Regional Radio that they had a great turnout at the DeWitt, Macon, Piatt 4-H Show in Clinton. 

Wallace indicates that many of her 4-H'ers were nominated and moved on to the State Fair in Springfield. One DeWitt County student even won the grand champion prize for their beef steer. 

According to Wallace, visual arts and civic engagements were popular project areas among her kids this year. She notes that they had 204 visual arts entries alone. 

The 4-H year has already started, but that doesn't mean it's too late for your child to get involved, and we'll have more with Wallace on that in the days ahead on Regional Radio. Learn more at extension.illinois.edu/dmp.
