4-H to announce Honor Court
The Wood County 4-H Committee will announce the winners of the 4-H Honor Court Scholarship program on
Monday during the 4-H Style Revue at the fairgrounds. There were 15 4-H members, age 16 or older, who
prepared an application with essay and will be interviewed by a panel of judges Sunday.
Once selected, eight deserving recipients will share in $2,500. This funding is made available through
milkshake barn sales and special donors. Future donations will help this fund grow even larger in years
to come.
Honor Court members will act as 4-H Ambassadors, speaking at functions during the year including special
4-H programs. They may be invited by local clubs for speaking engagements and support for legislative
visits.
