Abigail Worth

Hi, my name is Abby Worth. I’m 18 years old and a freshman at Montgomery College. I have been in 4-H for 13 years, and this is my third year on Royal Court. I have been a Fair-goer, volunteer, and exhibitor at the Fair since I could walk, and enjoy working at the 4-H building, the Big Cheese, and the Pre-Fair work days every year. I am currently the President of the Maryland 4-H State Council, a member of the Montgomery County 4-H Teen Council, a member of the Damascus Community 4-H Club and a delegate to the 2025 National 4-H Conference where I presented to the National Museum of American History on the 250th Anniversary of our nation.

 

Outside of the fair and 4-H, I enjoy practicing and teaching Kendo as well as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, playing the drums and ukulele, doing arts and crafts, stamp collecting and baking Gluten-free delights as well as cooking. 4-H has given me confidence, leadership experience, life-long friends and memories that I will pass down to the leaders of tomorrow as well as cherish for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to be a role model for youth just like the Royal Court has been for me!
