What is QB?

Quiz Bowl is one of several events that is held at the 4-H Goat Expo in Lansing. It is held annually, usually in April. Goat Expo is a great event where the youth have an opportunity to learn by doing and to meet new 4-H youth from other counties. The booklet with information on events that youth can participate in is available from the MSU Extension office.

Quiz Bowl is broken down into a Jr. and Sr. Team events. Teams consist of at least 4 people, but can have 5 (with an alternate).

The Goat Quiz Bowl is a very competitive event and one of the highlights of the day as counties challenge each other in friendly competition.

For someone who is new to the Quiz Bowl event - basically on the day of the event, you will sit at a desk and have a buzzer to press to answer questions having to do with goats.

In Kent County, we have set it up so that ANY YOUTH who wants to participate can. You don't have to own a goat to be apart of the Quiz Bowl Team. We do ask that you have plenty of 4-H to make the best better attitude and a willingness to learn.

The team members meet to prepare and practice twice a month in January, February & March - with the Goat Expo taking place in April. Actual practice dates will be announced (probably by Jan).

For 2011 Jodi Vlaming & Ellen Biermacher will bo coaching the Team(s).

If you have any questions or would like to participate in the team please eMAIL Jodi and/or Ellen at javlaming@yahoo.com

More information will be posted on this page as it becomes available.
