4-H members from around the county participated in 4-H Food and Nutrition Judging held July 19, at the
Junior Fair Building on the Wood County Fairgrounds.
Members were judged on their knowledge about nutrition, food groups, food preparation, and the completion
of their project books. They received placings on their project.
