Your donations and support help make this a great event to add towards the 4th of July festivities. The Edwards County 4-H Club strives to host one of the best cook off’s in the state of Texas. Although we don’t make an entirely huge amount of money, we are one of the highest paying cook offs in the state and it is ya’ll’s support and donations that make this possible. This event is the Edwards County 4-H’s way of providing a service to the community that people will enjoy and look forward to doing on the 4th of July!
