VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Barnes County 4-H Award and Leader Recognition banquet was held on Sunday, November 17 at the Eagles Club.
The Barnes County 4-H Leader’s Council awarded the Barnes County Homemakers of Today organization and Valley Meats as “Friends of 4-H.” The “Friends of 4-H” award recognizes a person or organization whose leadership, actions, and support have contributed to the improvement and promotion of the Barnes County 4-H Youth Development Program. 4-H was founded on the belief that when kids are empowered to pursue their passions and chart their own course, their unique skills grow and take shape, helping them to become true leaders in their lives, careers, and communities.
In Barnes County, more than ninety 4-H youth and forty volunteers from the community are involved in 4‑H. For more information about joining 4-H, contact the NDSU Extension office in Barnes County at 845-8528.
