Big Horn County 4-H holds Achievement Night celebration

Big Horn County 4-H recognized the contributions of its volunteer leaders and success of its members during its recent Achievement Night celebration.
The evening’s highlights included the presentation of nine-year member pins, considered the greatest milestone in 4-H, along with a variety of special awards recognizing outstanding achievement in 4-H.
The following Big Horn County 4-Hers received nine-year jackets: Evelyn Brown, Roseannah Brown, Hanna Haley, Kenadee Rael, Gabriel VanderPloeg, Keyanna Walker and Macie Hopkin.
“You all have made an impact in Big Horn County through the 4-H program — maybe in club meetings, project and county activities or state-level opportunities … maybe you encouraged a new member to join 4-H or learn a new skill,” said Gasvoda.  “Thank you for your years of hard work and dedication.
