All About Contest Day

Contest Day provides youth in Fairfax County an opportunity to try out their public speaking, presenting, or consumer and sewing skills. Youth that participate will receive feedback and ribbons from our volunteer judges. The 2012 Contest Day will be held March 3 at the Fairfax County Government Center. The Art of Public Speaking Workshop will be held on February 11 at the same location and will help prepare youth for their participation at Contest Day and the many other public speaking opportunities that they'll encounter throughout life.
