2022 Morgan County Annual 4-H Achievement Night By Nicole Reed
I
n October, we love to recognize the accomplishments of our 4-H members and leaders. It is also a great way to celebrate the end of one 4-H year and the beginning of another. On October 24, we held our annual 4-H Achievement Night. During this celebration, we recognized the following people: • Horse Council Members • Livestock Council Members • The 4-H Extension Staff • Teen and Junior Teen Council Officers • TRY (Teens Reaching Youth) Team Members • Livestock Ambassadors • Horse Ambassadors • 1st Year 4-Hers • 10 Year 4-Hers • 4-H Leader Years of Service Awards • 4-H Volunteer Awards All of these awards are a great honor but the most prestigious awards of the whole night were our 4-H Volunteer Awards: Salute to 4-H Volunteers, Salute to 4-H Youth Volunteers, 4-H Mentor of the Year, Clover Key Award, Doorknob Award, and 4-H Family of the Year. The Salute to 4-H Volunteers Award recognizes a volunteer who has provided outstanding service to 4-H. This year’s award recipient was Jessie Franich. For Jessie there have been many great memories being a 4-H Leader for the past 41 years. The thing that she enjoys the most is her relationship that she develops with her 4-H kids. Jessie keeps saying that she is going to retire but her 4-Hers won’t let her. Thank you, Jessie for your many

While whales are the largest marine animals, and sharks are generally the heaviest cartilaginous fish, the ocean sunfish has long been a monster of its own dimensions.

A six and a half foot T. Rex skull was recently unearthed in South Dakota. The skull, named Maximus, is slated for the auction block after its anonymous owner decided to sell it.
