2024 Somerset County 4-H Round Robin
Congratulations to our 2024 Round Robin Participants
By Melissa Bright, Somerset County 4-H Agent
Round Robin is a tradition here in Somerset County 4-H. Round Robin occurs the Friday night of the fair where the 1st place showmanship winner from the Alpaca, Beef Cow, Dog, Dairy Cow, Cavy, Goat, Poultry, Rabbit and Sheep Divisions competes for the overall grand champion showman of the 4-H Fair.
This year’s Fair was limited due to weather conditions as hurricane Debby traveled up the east coast. This caused the Round Robin Event to be postponed. The Round Robin Committee worked effortlessly to ensure that this event would occur so the youth participants would be showcased despite their limited fair.
The Somerset County Board of Agriculture and Carnevale Farms were gracious in hosting Round Robin on September 7th during their Annual Ag in Action Event. Round Robin started at 1:00pm and concluded at 2:00pm.
Congratulations to all the Round Robin Participants!
