4-H Achievement Night will take place at the Plano High School in their old auditorium, 704 W. Abe St, Plano. This celebration is set for Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:00 p.m. We will be honoring all those in 4-H who have excelled in their recorded project areas. We will honor our 4-H volunteers. It's their time and effort that help make 4-H in Kendall County possible, especially this coming year with the State mandated cost cuts.

2008-09 first year 4-H members will be receiving their first year member pins; 12 youth graduating from the 4-H program will be honored; first time fair exhibitors for food and clothing; county records judging winners; special award winners; volunteer leaders and Jr. Leaders will also be acknowledged. Plan to attend to welcome in our newest members, say good-bye to our graduating members and congratulate all of our winning members. Please bring your friends and family too.
