2017 Year-End Awards Reception

| rees.139

Our year-end awards program will be coming up on Monday, September 25 at the Mount Vernon High School starting at 6:30 p.m.  This is a dessert reception so we do ask that each family in attendance come with dessert to share.  Several awards will be given out that evening: county project awards, overall project awards, club awards, years of completion awards, and Ohio State Fair participant recognition.  If you know of anyone who went to the Ohio State Fair and represented Knox County 4-H, please send that information to Andrea so they can be recognized that evening.  Please provide name, project area, and placing, if applicable.
