Whitfield County 4-H awards celebration

Submitted by Whitfield County 4-H

Whitfield County 4-H was joined by state Rep. Roger Williams, state Rep. Tom Dickson and state Sen. Don Thomas in recognizing outstanding 4-H’ers for their participation in District Project Achievement, Consumer Judging and Poultry Judging district competitions, and various service learning projects, at its 2010 Awards Celebration.

Senior 4-H’ers Melanie Blanchard and Liliann Sanchez hosted the event and Junior 4-H’er Jessy Ramos provided entertainment, playing a selection of classical and contemporary music on the keyboard. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and United Space Alliance graciously contributed to the evening’s theme “Whitfield County 4-H is out of this world!” by donating space posters, stickers, planet cubes, gifts and astronaut tattoos for attending 4-H’ers and their families to enjoy.

A quote wall was displayed sharing messages from past 4-H’ers to the current members. Myra Plitcher, local banker said, “4-H builds confidence, character and skills for the future.” Karen Horne, banker, teacher and manager shared, “I remember baking muffins and going to district. I guess that is why I love to cook now.” Jeff Parker, self-employed carpet agent, commented, “I remember competing in the 4-H horse shows and winning the state championship in Athens and making friends for life like David Phipps.”

Various award recipients who attended were Destiny Jarrett, Jessy Ramos, Nicholas Gwin, Heymish Orviline, Katie Aros, Zenaida Torres, Carmen Torres, Brenda Torres, Isaiah Eaton, Ed Tchoua, Stephany Beltran, Isamar Fraire, Gage McCurdy, Greyson Roberts, Liliann Sanchez, Melanie Blanchard, Luis Guzman and Kaylee Nelms.
