VALDOSTA–Daniel Peterson represented Lowndes County 4-H well at this year’s Annual State 4-H Congress held in Atlanta, winning first place for his poultry and egg science project.

Peterson was one of the more than 250 district winners that advanced to the state competition. To advance to the state level alone is quite the achievement, as the 4-H Congress is considered one of the premier competitive events for those in 4-H.

Peterson brought home the title of Master 4-Her for winning first place in his area of competition. As a reward, he has also received a trip to the National 4-H Congress this upcoming fall in Atlanta.
