Annual Demonstration & Public Speaking Event

All 4-Hers are invited to sign up for the annual Verbal Communications Event. This is a great opportunity to build the life-long skill of effective communication. Events like this help 4-Hers build confidence, hone their communication skills, and prepare for life!

This year’s Verbal Communications Event will be on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at 5:30 pm at the Porter County Expo Center’s Patio Room. (Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. for participants.)

To help us prepare, please include Demonstrations and/or Public Speaking when you complete your online FairEntry process by June 25th. Learn more about FairEntry at http://bit.ly/PCFairEntry.
