On Saturday, August 22nd, Austin County 4-H hosted an Awards Banquet sponsored by the Parents & Leaders Association to commemorate the outstanding work put into our 4-Hers’ projects, contests, and activities. Over 80 attendees were hosted at the Austin County Fairgrounds under the Entertainment Pavilion and sound was provided by The Peschel Family! After many 4-H events this year were cancelled due to COVID-19, it was refreshing to host these families and see their smiling faces once again. Project participation awards were presented, our State and National Champion Livestock Quiz Bowl Teams were recognized, and the coveted Star Awards were awarded to well-deserving individuals. Austin County 4-H is so proud of the work these 4-Hers have put into their projects over the last year and cannot wait to kick off the new year!
