Logan County 4-H achievement recognition awards for 2010

[December 23, 2010]  This year the Logan County 4-H clubs had their own 4-H achievement recognition program.

Some 4-H'ers are chosen each year in special award categories. A book is presented to a 4-H'er with outstanding work, quantity, quality, years, citizenship, leadership, participation, skill acquisition and growth. These are given in three age categories: 8-10 years of age, 11-13 and 14-19. A Blue Award is given to a 4-H'er deserving of repeat recognition in a category. In the 14-19 age category the medals are nationally sponsored and may only be received once in each curriculum area.

The top award winners in the major award categories for 2010 are as follows:
