Youth from Dillon County and the Pee Dee Region had the opportunity to showcase their 4-H projects at the Eastern Carolina Agricultural Fair. The Fair is a way for the public to see 4-H in action. Youth from Dillon County participated in the 4-H Green Tomato Contest.
Entries in the 4-H Green Tomato Contest received ribbons and monies for their prize winning tomatoes. There were four categories for the youth to enter: biggest, prettiest, ugliest, and best plate of three. Youth received plants in late July and grew their tomatoes to enter in the fair. The tomato plants were grown and donated by a local garden center.
The following youth entered tomatoes for judging: Christian Britt, Andrew Castrejon, Janare Fletcher, Jamarion Fling, Kayla Fling, Kinsley Henderson, Nija McRae, Yakeem Moore, Cadarius Roberson, Curtis Roberson and Jacob Scott.
The 4-H Green Tomato Contest, in addition to other activities will be presented by 4-H in 2016. If you would like more information on this project or on other 4-H activities, contact the Dillon County Clemson Extension Office at (843) 774-8218.
