Washington County 4-H member wins state tailgating title

Washington County 4-H member Josh Wells recently earned first place in the chicken division at the 2026 Florida 4-H Tailgating Contest. His application of a Mediterranean Lemon Yogurt marinade to chicken before grilling and serving it to the judging panel secured his top placement. While preparing and grilling, Wells was also evaluated on his knowledge of food and grilling safety practices and how he applied those techniques throughout the contest.
