Garrett County Fair 4H Conservation Display Contest

Each year until 2026, at the Garrett County Agricultural Fair, the Garrett Soil Conservation District held a contest for 4H clubs in the area to create a display about Agricultural Best Management Practices in conservation.

Displays were judged on their conservation message and on creativity. The District gave a cash prize for first, second, and third place winners. 

In 2026, the 4-H Booth contest was replaced by the GSCD 4-H and FFA Agricultural BMP Photography Contest.

Below are highlighted some of our previous display winners.

Thank you so much to the Finzel 4-H Club, Friendsville Fireflies, and North Glade 4-H Club for teaching Agricultural Best Management Practices in your clubs!
