The Dodge County 4-H Public Speaking Contest will begin at 6 pm on Thursday, March 28th. It will be held at the Masonic Eastern Star Home for Children Educational Center, 2415 N. Main Street, Fremont, Nebraska.
The 4-H Public Speaking Contest provides youth the opportunity to write a speech or a public service annoucement (PSA) that incorporates the topic of 4-H where they will then deliver it to an audience. The contest helps aid youth in developing skills for communicating about current issues to real audiences along with the skills to organize, prepare and deliver a speech.
