Steve Sutton STATE YOUTH SHEEP ORATORICAL CONTEST TO BE HELD AT EXPO The 2006 State Youth Sheep Oratorical Contest will be held Tuesday, July 25 in Cookeville. The event will take place from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. CDT at the Hyder-Burks Pavilion. The contest is open to 4-H and FFA members in the 9th through 12th grade on January 1 of the current year. The subject matter of the contestant’s speech must pertain to sheep; visual aids are NOT allowed. Speakers may use notes, however excessive use of notes will count against the final score. All speeches must be 5-7 minutes in length. Speakers not within this range may lose points at the discretion of the judges. Speakers should dress appropriately for the event (showmanship-type clothing is recommended). Participants will be divided into grade divisions and the top three scoring speakers in each grade will receive medallions. Contest and entry information for the oratorical contest maybe be found at the links below.
Pre-registration is required by July 18 via the online entry form available from http://animalscience.ag.utk.edu/sheep/SheepSpeechContest.htm. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Warren Gill at 615-832-8341 or via email at wgill@tennessee.edu. Warren Gill All counties have the opportunity to nominate outstanding 4-H members to receive Tennessee’s highest level of recognition, the Vol State Award. Vol State recipients must be:
Each county may nominate two members plus one member for each 100, or major fraction thereof, senior members in the county. Members do no have to be a state finalist. However, if they are not finalists, the $130 registration must be paid for them. Please do not tell your members they have been nominated for Vol State. The recognition ceremony at Roundup is much more effective if the member does not know they will be tapped. Vol State nominees should be indicated during the online Roundup registration process.
