Quiz Bowl

2007 4-H quiz bowl winners
 
Teams representing 4-H and FFA groups compete in a quiz show format to demonstrate their knowledge about farm safety and health hazards and recommended practices. Participants not only learn about farm safety and health, they also increase their leadership and public speaking skills and learn how to promote agricultural safety and health through their organizations.

 Each competing team is awarded prizes and winning teams are awarded cash prizes.

The semi-final competition is held at Ag Progress Days in August and the top four teams then compete in finals which are held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in January.
