🍀 Thankful Thursday Spotlight 🍀

As part of our National 4-H Week celebration, we're taking time to recognize the people who make a difference in the lives of others through 4-H.

Today, we'd like to recognize Baylor Behrens, who was nominated by Graham Kohout.

💚 "Baylor is a great role model for all of us in 4-H. She helps people understand different things about their animals, fitting, showing and she wants everyone to be their best. She always helps me when I have a question about my animals and pushes me to do more and be better."

Thank you, Baylor, for sharing your knowledge, encouraging others, and being such a positive role model within 4-H. Your willingness to help others learn and grow is making a lasting impact on your fellow 4-H members.
