Two Saturdays ago, a group of four Lyon County 4-Hers attended the Livestock Judging portion of the Kansas State 4-H Livestock Sweepstakes in Manhattan, Kansas. This was the first year the event was held completely indoors at the Bilbrey Family Event Center.
Our four 4-Hers had a great day, with the highlight being a top ten finish in placing for team member Mason J from Riverside. The team is already making big plans for next year!

Team members include: Macleigh J, Riverside; Mila W, Rinker; Madison J, Riverside; Mason J, Riverside

Congratulations to Riverside 4-H Club member, Mason J, on being recognized as the State Award winner in the Swine Project!

Mason, Lyon County, is our State 4-H Award Recipient in the Swine Project. 🐷🐖🥓
In his own words: My six years in the 4-H swine project have made me more responsible and confident. When I was ten years old I got my first pig, and I knew very little about raising and showing pigs. Being a 4-H member has helped me to learn the skills it takes to grow in this project. My favorite part of the project is the friendships and mentors I have met along the way. I have gained more knowledge and skills thanks to everyone who has supported me. I am now a responsible and confident showman. Knowing that showing pigs is about far more than just feeding and showing them.
