On February 16th, Stokes County 4-H had their annual Achievement Night celebrating the success of 4-Hers during the 2016 year. We had a great attendance of 56 adults and youth. We gathered at the Stokes County Cooperative Extension office with the auditorium decorated in bright colors for out theme of Back to the 80s. Dr. Brad Rice, the Superintendent of Stokes County Schools, attended our event and assisted the County Council Officers with delivering awards for 4-Hers. We recognized our outstanding 4-Hers, as well as our outstanding Volunteer Leaders.

Stokes County 4-Hers received awards from their projects and activities they accomplished throughout the year. We awarded a Stokes County 4-Her of the Year award, which went to a 4-Her who makes the best better, uses their head for clearer thinking, their heart for greater loyalty, hands for larger service and their health for better living. This 4-Her learns by doing and represents the Stokes County 4-H Program well. We presented this award to Hunter Smothers. He will receive a 4-H Summer Camp scholarship.

We also awarded a Stokes County 4-H Club of the Year award, which went to a club who demonstrates service, leadership, are active, and have a growing membership. This club is one others can receive ideas from to better their own. We presented this award to the 4 Paws 4-H Club. This club will receive $150 towards club needs.

Our 4-H Volunteer Leaders who received awards for their time and hard work with Stokes County 4-H were Abbie Smothers, Joy East each have been volunteering for 3 years, Leslie Brewer volunteering for 16 years, and Pam Davis volunteering for 17 years.
