LOUISBURG, N.C. — Franklin County 4-H was well represented at the 2022 NC State Fair in areas including but not limited to livestock shows, poultry shows, 4-H crafts, culinary, and canning. We had an estimated 20 Franklin County 4-H’ers that participated in different activities. We are so very proud of all our youth. Lance Williams, Franklin County 4-H’er and NC 4-H State Vice President attended the opening ceremony to help cut the ribbon. The following youth listed are only a few of the youth and their activities. There were so many entries that it is hard to report them all. Photos submitted.
