Ogle County 4-H Achievement Day winners named

Posted by RvpAdmin / In Tempo

Ogle County 4-H’ers were recognized for excellence in 4-H project work at the recent county 4-H Achievement Celebration. A drive thru program was held Nov. 15 at the Ogle County Extension office. Despite the unusual circumstances, we were excited to give our 4-H members the opportunity to pick up their well-deserved awards and pose for a picture.

An unlimited number of awards are given to all 4-H’ers who obtain a score of 30 or greater on the blue County Project Honor Award Application (20 or greater for the 8-11 years old). 4-H’ers may only be recognized in one project area annually. The award consists of a plaque and silver/gold discs. (* indicates 1st time winner) This year’s winners are:
