Our first recipients are the Highland County Commissioners, David Daniels, Terry Britton and Brad Roades. They have been very supportive of the 4-H program and 4-H Educators over the past several years.

As 4-H Educators and Advisory Committee members, we are truly blessed to have such wonderful support for the youth of Highland County. Their support is evident by the beautiful new office for all programming delivered by OSU Extension. Thank you for all you do for our youth and the 4-H program.

Our second recipient is Ronnie Ludwick. He, along with his family and their business Sherwood Auto & Campers, has supported the 4-H program, members and 4-H Educators over many years.

Supporting youth as a buyer at the Highland County fair and donating the use of a camper to the 4-H Educators for their use during the fair has been greatly appreciated. Thank you again for all your support of the 4-H program.

Our third recipient is Adena. Adena has purchased one project book for all 4-H members, including Cloverbuds, since 2019. This has helped many families financially and helped 4-H members to be able to possibly take more than one project.

Adena continues to support the youth of our community in a variety of ways. Thank you for your continued support of the 4-H youth and their projects.
