Vermont 4-H members represented their state at the 2022 Big E event, held at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA. They participated in the event in several ways, including representing the dairy and horse projects, and at the New England Center where they performed stage presentations and demonstrations for the public.

Among the many highlights, the Vermont 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl team toppled their competition and earned first place for the New England region.

Participants in the New England Center were also featured by News Channel 3 for a piece on 4-H returning to the fair this year. Overall, 60 Vermont youth proudly represented their state at this annual event.
