Not only do we have outstanding 4-H members but we also have outstanding volunteers. This year we were honored to present the 2018 friend of 4-H Award to Heather Steroup, the manager of Tractor Supply. Heather has been a huge help and support to the 4-H. We are looking forward to the great year ahead and to see what accomplishments our 4-H youth will make this year.
