Sixteen local 4-H’ers represented Iberville Parish at 4-H University in a series of statewide contests at Louisiana State University. 1,415 youth from across Louisiana attended 4-HU June 18-21. Iberville 4-H’ers trained and competed in various contests, such as Photography, Public Speaking, Solutions Unlimited, The Louisiana Chef, Fashion Review, Sports Broadcasting, Computer Simulation, and Insect Identification.
