Lina Prillaman, Berkeley County 4-H Agent
Berkeley County 4-H has a lot to celebrate! Earlier this year, members of the Best of Berkeley Club represented our county at the South Carolina 4-H Wildlife Habitat Education Program (WHEP) State Competition and achieved outstanding results.
The Best of Berkeley Club placed 2nd Overall in the Junior Team Division (ages 9–13). Team members included Summer Zumstein, Dezarie Zumstein, and Elizabeth Simmons.
We are also proud to recognize Summer Zumstein, who earned 1st Place in the Junior Individual Division.
In addition, congratulations to Fiona Stewart, Helen Stewart, Destany Zumstein, and Claire Stewart, who participated in their first State WHEP competition. Competing at the state level is a tremendous accomplishment, and we are proud of their hard work and dedication.
As we celebrate these achievements, we are also looking ahead to one of the biggest events of the year—the Coastal Carolina Fair. The 2026 Fair Book is now available, and registration is open for a variety of exciting contests and exhibits.
Youth can showcase their creativity and skills through opportunities such as:
- Cupcake Decorating
- Pumkin Decorating
- Container Gardens
- AI Graphic Design
- Seed Art
- LEGO Mini Fair Dioramas
- 4-H In Action Posters
- Christmas Tree Decorating
- School and Community Garden Projects
Whether you are a returning participant or considering entering for the first time, the Coastal Carolina Fair is a great opportunity to learn new skills, share your talents, and represent Berkeley County 4-H.
We encourage families to review the Fair Book and begin planning their projects now. Registration for contests and exhibits is due October 5, and we look forward to seeing the creativity and hard work of our 4-H members on display this fall.
