Ross MacDonald and Cassidy Flynn were the recipients 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 Bryleigh Erickson, Kenzie Knaub, Cinch Reynolds and Teigen Volkman.
The Friend of 4-H Award goes to a community member, organization or business that has provided a unique contribution to the 4-H program.
