It's time for our Pennsylvania 4-H Volunteer Spotlight! Each week, Pennsylvania 4-H highlights volunteers who are doing great work around the state.

Today, we are celebrating Kristin Stanford of Crawford County!

Kristin Stanford has been a volunteer with Crawford County 4-H for 5 years. She is the project leader in the horse and pony area for Buckles & Breeches 4-H Club and a former organizational leader of Denim & Dust 4-H Club.

Kristin is also the chair of the county horse and pony leaders committee, a member of the county program development committee, and a member of the district horse committee. She helped start the annual Easter egg hunt last year, bringing all the horse and pony 4-H clubs in the county together. Kristin also organized a new shed being made for the fairgrounds to store the horse show equipment.

Her nominator says, "Whenever there is a new opportunity or a volunteer need to be filled Kristin is always ready to help."

Kristin is pictured with one of the 4-H members in her club at the 4-H district horse show.
