Knox County 4-H Facts
Did you know there is a new 4-H award this year?  The 4-H Key Award is a statewide recognition program, sponsored for older 4-H members in Illinois.  Applicants must be 4-H members who are 16 to 18 years of age by September 1 of 2009.  We can submit three applications from our county with only 30 being selected at the state level.  Applications will be due in early February.  Let's "Key" in on this as an older teen!
