Over the last two months, 4-H members have been recognized at their club meetings for the annual 2020 Greene County 4-H Awards. Record books submitted by 4-H members were judged by volunteers who decided on the final awards, recognizing outstanding record books and excellence in project work over the past year.
“The Awards Ceremony is the final process of the 4-H year,” said Kayla Willms, county youth & 4-H coordinator for Greene County Extension. “This may not look like a traditional year, but the 4-H members worked hard on their projects and we are honored to recognize them for their accomplishments.”
A total of 21 4-H members submitted a record book for the 2019-2020 4-H year. Ten volunteers and community supports were recognized at the event. “We couldn’t have done it without the volunteers that evaluated record books and the youth development committee,” said Willms
