During the Expo, awards and prizes will be given out during classes.  At the banquet we will be presenting awards to both individuals and clubs for judging, aggregate, stall competition as well as some of the special awards highlighted below. We would like to thank these family's for their support of our 4-H youth and we are honored that we have the opportunity to present these awards at our event.
