OVER 250 clubbites from the Jamaica 4-H Clubs have been exhibiting their skills and wit against each other since yesterday at the Jamaica 4-H Clubs' National Achievement Day exercise at the Denbigh Show Ground which ends today.
The show, which is the premier competitive event on the
4-H calendar, is expected to attract thousands of patrons. Last year, it welcomed approximately 7,000 patrons. This year, it is anticipated that that number will be doubled.
