4-H members compete in Regional Project Bowls

The 4-H Project bowl allows youth to study a chosen project more in depth to learn as much as they can about nutrition, breeds, care, genetics, body and conditioning and more. The Minnesota 4-H Project bowl is the second largest 4-H event after the Minnesota State Fair. Patterned after the golden oldies television show “College Bowl,” it challenges teams of three to six youth in their knowledge of certain 4-H project areas.
