Quay County 4-Hers compete at district

Quay County 4-H members traveled to Lea County to compete in the annual Southeast District Contest on June 17-19.

Rebecca Madrid won a district title in the novice fashion review competition with her gathered skirt.

Eight novice and junior members from Quay County spent the first two days competing in judging contests such as agronomy, horticulture, entomology, wildlife, horse and livestock judging and fashion review.

On the third day, members competed in shooting sports disciplines such as air rifle, smallbore .22 rifle, and compound and recurve archery.

The contests are developed to help 4-H members develop life skills such as decision making and public speaking.
