Chase County 4-H youths were well-represented at the Nebraska State Fair in several areas with inside exhibits as well as livestock competitions.
Ribbon placings included added recognition of three Chase County youths—Brittny White, Violet Sparrow and Carter Kuenning—who received additional positive comments from judges for their entries. The online results signified those 4-Hers with a rainbow ribbon by their names.
