Seven Fairfax County 4-H'ers attended Virginia 4-H Congress this June at Virginia Tech.  Esther Wisdom from the Falls Church Community Club and Rachel Stephenson from the Herndon Horse 4-H Club competed in the state-wide extemporaneous speech competition.  Rachel won best of show and Esther got second place overall.  Rachel Stephenson and Arielle Ampeh from Krazy for K-9's were tapped into Virginia 4-H All Stars which is the highest recognition that a Virginia 4-H'er can receive.  Katherine Knight from the Fairfax City 4-H Community Club served as a Northern District Ambassador this year and was re-elected to serve in that role again in the 2013-2014 4-H year.  All delegates had a wonderful time in their workshops and activities throughout the week where they got to learn about veterinary science, leadership, and liberal arts majors.  Arielle Ampeh and Lenah Nguyen will attend National Congress in November as design team members.  Arielle is the first Virginia 4-H'er ever to serve on the National Congress Design Team.
