Plaques, certificates, savings bonds, discs and pins were the scene at the 2008 4-H Achievement Night held in Morrison on Saturday, October 18, 2008. The evening was held to recognize the achievements of 4-H members and clubs during the 2007-2008 4-H year. Top awards were given to many outstanding youth from across the county. The Top First Year Members are selected based on outstanding achievement during their first year of 4-H membership. Emily Davis of Morrison and Erin Stichter of Erie were named 2008 Top First Year 4-H Members. A much more demanding competition for older 4-H members is involved with the selection of the Outstanding 4-H’ers and 4-H’er of the Year. The members named as Outstanding 4-H’ers have excelled in leadership and achievement in club and county work. The 2008 Outstanding 4-H’ers were: Courtney Dirks of Prophetstown; Tobi Drilling of Tampico; Tonja Egan of Deer Grove; Stephen Head of Morrison and Kelly Holland of Fulton.
