Cass County 4-H is hosting the 4-H County Convention this Sunday, November 10. The annual awards program will begin at 2:00 PM at the Cass County Community Center, and is being organized by the 4-H Youth Council and Youth Action Committee.  At County Convention, members and leaders of all twelve 4-H clubs in Cass County will be present on stage to receive recognition. Record book project awards will be announced and recognition will be given to members who did outstanding project work throughout the year. Local club leaders will be recognized for their service to the 4-H program.

Special recognition will be given to 4-H clubs for exceptional community service projects, herdsmanship at fair, 4-H Endowment Fund contributors, and promotional activities during National 4-H Week. Club officers will also be recognized for their excellent work. Shelby Van Horn, Cass County Youth Coordinator, says “This is a great event for 4-Hers to receive recognition for their accomplishments. We will also be recognizing community members and businesses for their continued 4-H support. Without those individuals, our 4-H program would not be as strong.”

This year there are 23 Clover Kids who have completed 3rd Grade and moved into 4-H. A Clover Kids Graduation ceremony will be held to recognize those members, and help them transition into the 4-H program. This is the third year of the event. 4-H’ers serving on the 2018-2019 Cass County Youth Council are Claire Smith, Katie York, Eric Plagman, Nathan Beherends, Mitchell Williamson, Aly Brockob, Grace Clay, Emily Plagman, Carli Henderson, Craig Alan Becker, Jacob Rattenborg and Haley Becker. Graduating members will be recognized and final activities of the day will be the announcement and installation of the 2019-2020 Cass County 4-H Youth Council.

Parents, relatives, friends and 4-H supporters are invited to attend the celebration and recognition event for Cass County 4-H members and leaders.
