New this year youth who participate in the 2016 Poultry Expo may earn the chance to represent Michigan at the National 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference in Louisville, KY. Contestants who win the senior division in Avian Bowl, Egg Preparation, Chicken BBQ, and Turkey BBQ will have the opportunity to move on the national contest. The contest offer youth a hands on approach in demonstrating their knowledge and skill of various facets of the poultry industry -breeding, management, and poultry food production preparation. Youth do NOT have to be enrolled in a poultry project. This is a great state level event for youth involved in foods and nutrition projects as well. CLICK HERE for the link to register. The Expo is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2016.
