Huntingdon County 4-H Banquet

This evening I was invited to the Huntingdon County 4-H Banquet to recognize our county's 4-H members on their year's outstanding achievements!  Congratulations to all of our members who were nominated and showed this past year at the fair!  I was honored to have received the 4-H Development Fund Scholarship!  I can't wait to see what these members have in store from us for the 2015 Huntingdon County Fair! Once thank you 4-H members, their parents and leaders for a great year!


Below is my speech that I gave at the beginning of the banquet:

"Good evening!  It’s hard to believe that 3 months have passed since fair!  I’m sure each and every one of you made memories that will last a lifetime, I know I made plenty!  Here we are tonight celebrating your year’s accomplishments and reliving memories.  Without your participation in the fair each year, we wouldn’t have Johnson Hall or the Livestock and Horse Barns, so thank you for not only showing but displaying your passion of agriculture for all to see.  To think that there are only 9 months until the 2015 fair so get your creative juices flowing for new and exciting projects.  Your leaders have been planning a fun year for all of you but remember to thank them for all their dedication to our 4H program!  Without them, we wouldn’t have 17 4H clubs in our county!  Over the next 9 months, learn new techniques for projects you have already taken, take a leadership role in your club and plan fun presentation such as Farm Safety 4 Just Kids.  Whatever you do, remember all of you are winners just like you are tonight!  On behalf of the fair board, your leaders, your parents and myself, I would like to say we are all so very proud of you and can’t wait to see what you have in store for the 2015 Huntingdon County Fair!"
