North Platte/Sandhills Post News Director Canon Rath caught up with Ezri Bay and 4-H Youth Development Extension Educator Caitlyn Jacobson about the 4-H Dog Skillathon category.

 

NORTH PLATTE - 4-H is America's largest youth development program across the United States that helps learn skills that will last a lifetime. The age requirement for 4-H is the ages of 8-18. There are many different categories that 4-H'rs can participate in during their time in the program. A unique category is Dog Skillathon. 

The Dog Skillathon contest is an opportunity that 4-H'rs can patriciate and test their knowledge of dogs. "It's a giant mess test and it's kind of interesting and so you walk in this big room and there's a whole bunch of tables with different activities," said 4-H'r Ezri Bay. "They hand you a test and you go to one of the tables and at each table there's like questions and photos that go with you questions and you have to answer those." 

Dogs Skillathon has many different aspects during competition. If you would like to learn a more in-depth about the Dogs Skillathon and Bay's involvement with 4-H with the trio, check out the podcast linked above or click here.
