Poultry Judging Training

DSU will be hosting a statewide poultry judging training for both 4-H and FFA on Tuesday, June 16th beginning at 5:00 pm at DSU's Hickory Hill Farm on Seven Hickories Rd. in Kenton.

This is open to any 4-Her; however, anyone who participated in the Kent County Poultry Judging contest is encouraged to attend. Dr. McCrea assembles the state poultry judging event, and it will be helpful to attend in preparation for the state judging event.

I would suggest that you eat before you arrive, and bring something to drink with you.
