Kingfisher County 4-H Ambassadors held an achievement banquet earlier this month, recognizing the club’s accomplishments over the last year.

As a COVID-19 precaution, all local 4-H clubs held individual achievement banquets this year, rather than the normal countywide event.

Those recognized at the ambassador’s banquet included:

State Record Books

James Perdue (wildlife and fisheries) and Abby Cruz (sheep) turned in state record books and were recognized online at the virtual state 4-H Roundup in July. Cruz was a top-three finalist.

Scholarship Winners

Catherine Stangl Oklahoma Youth Expo scholarship, sponsored by OYE.

Elizabeth Perdue Dana Smith Memorial Scholarship, sponsored by Mary Sue Sanders; Pickens Legacy Scholarship and Jackie Jones Memorial Endowment Scholarship, sponsored by the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation.
