Dewitt, Macon and Piatt County 4-H held its awards celebration October 26 at the 4-H Memorial Camp in Allerton Park. 4-H awards recognize members who excel in their 4-H year based on their involvement with projects, programs, other community activities and events, and participation in 4-H. Several Dewitt County 4-H members were recognized for their accomplishments in record keeping, club leadership, personal leadership and length of membership.
Adults were also recognized for their dedication to Dewitt County 4-H. Length of service and leader of the year awards were given to deserving individuals who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to 4-H.
“It was great to see how many records were turned in between our three counties this year,” says Lindsay Burden, Dewitt County Extension Program Coordinator, Youth and Development. “These 4-H members worked really hard this year and deserve all of the praise for their accomplishments.”
