Anyone who recieved awards that was unable to attend should check with their 4-H leader's to see if the leader's picked up the awards for them. If the leader's didn't pick them up, unclaimed awards are kept at the extension office for a month. Please call before coming in to pick up your award.

Most award applications were returned to members Friday evening, a few were kept at the office. We are putting together some samples of winning award applications in each age group so if your award applications was not returned it was kept as a sample. The samples will be returned after they are all copied.
