Livingston County will host 4-H show in Pontiac

4-H youth are bringing their general projects, livestock and smiles to Pontiac next week.

It is time to welcome back one of summer’s best traditions. The 2022 Livingston County 4-H Show is July 20-23 at 4-H Park in Pontiac. Local youth have finishing up and prepping their projects to show.

With more than 6 million members, 4-H strives to encourage youth in finding their passions and developing those lifelong skills they will need later in life such as leadership, teamwork, organization and more. 4-H is thriving in 2022 and continues to be recognized as the nation’s largest youth development organization. Project areas range from livestock, plants and soils, computer science, drones, visual arts, robotics, among others, making 4-H truly for everyone.
