    Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
    Escambia 4H was always great @ State Competitions. Need more boys/men in the limelight too! A week @ Gainesville and University of Florida was always so much fun and many Escambia 4Hers were always winners there. Keep it up and Escambia will be back on top as it used to be and deserves to be!
