Congratulations and a job well done to our own Union County 4-H Outdoor Meat Cookery Team. There were 140 youth participants (16 teams) across the state that came together to show off their food and fire safety and grilling techniques at the Appalachian Fair in Gray, Tennessee, on Saturday August 27. Seven of our 4-H members participated in this event. These young men and women made Union County proud. Our Senior High Team placed fourth overall in this contest. Several of these members will be participating in the State 4-H Outdoor Meat Cookery Competition on Saturday October 8, in Knoxville. Keep those fingers crossed for our Senior High Team! We would also like to thank our volunteer leaders Bill and Debby Morgan for their dedication in helping our youth succeed.
