Beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, Genesee County 4-H will be holding annual public presentations at Byron-Bergen Middle/High School. There will be more than 80 youth participanting from across Genesee County, ranging from ages 5 to 18.
They will give public presentations in front of their peers and a panel of volunteer judges. Presentations will include everything from illustrated talks to live demonstrations and even impromptu topics. Each presentation is at least five minutes, but no longer than 15 minutes.
By participating in this event, 4-H youth improve their public speaking skills while developing self-confidence, poise, self-esteem, stage presence and knowledge, giving them an advantage over their peers in this lifetime skills area. These skills will be useful in their future social, educational and career pursuits.
The public is welcome. The school is located at 6917 County Road 31 in Bergen.
