On October 20, 2026 Harrison County 4-H members gathered at the Windell Ag Building at the fairgrounds for the annual 4-H Awards Banquet. The evening celebrated the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of 4-H members throughout the year.
A delicious dinner was graciously catered by Schnitzelbank, providing a wonderful opportunity for members, families, and supporters to come together and celebrate another successful year of 4-H.
Throughout the evening, many talented 4-H members were recognized for their achievements in their projects and livestock. Their accomplishments reflect the time, effort, and commitment they have dedicated to learning new skills and developing their talents.
A special thank-you goes to everyone who helped set up before the banquet, as well as those who stayed to assist with cleanup afterward. The continued support of volunteers and community members helps make events like this possible.
The Harrison County 4-H Council also held its election, welcoming Ashley First, Jennifer Kintner, Kyle Nix, Nola Schweitzer as newly elected members.
Congratulations to all the award recipients and newly elected council members! Here’s to a great year of making the best better in Harrison County 4-H!
