Do you know how long it takes to incubate an egg? Can you explain the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian? Have you heard of zebra mussels and the damage they can do in lakes? How many flowers can you identify? If you were one of the privileged spectators at the recent 4-H Public Presentation Contest on July 13, you will know the answers to these questions.  With amazing confidence and skill, Sanborn County 4-Hers presented a wide range of topics and knowledge. Subjects ranged from shooting sports to beef production to construction tools to water safety!  It was an amazing testament to the talent and expertise of our 4-H youth.
