Day 1 of the Premier Animal Science Event (PASE) is complete! Our Senior Quiz Bowl team had a great opportunity to compete, learn more about the contest, and gain valuable experience throughout the day. We are proud of their hard work and willingness to step up to the challenge!

Last night, our group had a fun evening at the Lincoln Saltdogs game. A special thank you to the Platte County 4-H Council for generously covering the cost for our youth to attend. It was a great way to wrap up the first day of PASE!

We’re excited for Day 2 as our youth compete in the Poultry Judging and Livestock Skillathon contests. Good luck to all of our participants!
