On Sunday, November 12, 2023, the 4-H Building was packed as Broadwater County 4-H celebrated its annual 4-H Achievement Night which recognizes 4-H members, volunteers and community members for their achievements and contributions from the past 4-H year.
One of the highlights of the event is recognizing senior-level 4-H members who have gone above and beyond to learn and excel in 4-H. The Achievement Award is given to a 4-H member who has become a skilled, productive and self-directed leader by attaining a broad knowledge of 4-H projects and activities. This year’s recipient was Kaitlyn Noyes.
The recipients of the Leadership Award were Grace Kroeger and Kaitlyn Noyes. This award is given to members who have learned to identify and understand roles, attitudes and tasks necessary for effective lifelong leadership.
The Citizenship Award is given to members who have practiced leadership skills and roles to participate in community affairs and show social responsibility by respecting and responding to the needs of others. The award went to Anna Beatty.
Jeffry Klompien was the recipient of the Agriculture Award, which is given to members who have demonstrated leadership qualities in agricultural project areas and challenged themselves to continue learning about their project while participating in other facets of the program.
The I Challenge You Award is given to emerging leaders who have the qualities and abilities to lead and to challenge them to achieve their highest potential to influence others through lives of leadership and service. This award went to Lexi Davies, Aiden Kitto, Mishayla Lambott, Olivia Roberts, Karolyn Schmaus and MaKenzie Truesdell.
The Friend of 4-H Award goes to a community member, organization or business who has provided a unique contribution to the 4-H program. This year the award went to Jim and Amber Burgess for their commitment and support of the 4-H program over the years and their recent contribution to the 4-H Pavilion project at the Fairgrounds. The 4-H Spirit Award was given to Daniel and Brandi Truesdell. They are long-time 4-H leaders who continue to give back to the program in many ways.
