If you're showing at Rockdale Fair, make sure you're enrolled and your eligibility form is turned in! πŸ“πŸ–πŸ„

Throughout the year, our members work toward accomplishments at the county, district, state, and national levels, representing Milam County 4-H with pride.

This year's ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to recognize these outstanding young people and celebrate the countless hours they have invested in their projects, contests, leadership opportunities, community service, and personal development. We are incredibly proud of everything our 4-H members have accomplished!
