Congratulations to Quitman High School 4-H member, Jake Potts, on being selected as the Northwest Region Ag Ambassador. The Louisiana 4-H Ambassador program provides an opportunity for 4-H youth in grades 9th to 12th to be empowered with knowledge of the 4-H program. This is done in order to help them serve as strong advocates for agriculture, mentors for younger 4-H members with projects, and consumer educators in the importance of agriculture across the state.
Local 4-H’ers fare well in Competitive Exhibits at State Fair
It was a “blue ribbon” day for local 4-H’ers Alley Hines, Avery Dark, and Elsie Flynn who all received awards for the Competitive Exhibits entries at the 2022 Louisiana State Fair. Special congratulations go to Alley Hines for bringing home both a Grand Champion and a Reserve Grand Champion ribbon!
