This year's Northampton County Poultry Show was a big success, and we are so thankful to the youth who participated and all who supported them! 🐔🏅

Our 4-H participants didn't just show up; they demonstrated their strong knowledge of their chickens and impressive showmanship. Their hard work and dedication truly came through!

Also, their creative and informative posters helped share a wealth of chicken knowledge with everyone.

Congratulations to all our participants on a great poultry season! Every single person put in an amazing effort, and we celebrate each of you for your commitment to learning and growing. Keep up the fantastic work! Can't wait until next year!
