The annual carnival and awards night were held November 18, 2007 in Estherville. The evening began with a carnival provided by 4-H clubs and the county council followed by the awards program at 7:00 p.m.
The evening provided recognition to outstanding Emmet County 4-H’ers in various project areas. We also recognized Alumni and Honorary Members and donors to the Emmet County 4-H Fund Foundation. The new 2007-2008 County Council members were also inducted that evening.
Honorary 4-H Club Member Awards went to Kevin Sander for his 8 years as a volunteer to the 4-H program and Martha Olson who has served as a club leader and a member of the 4-H & Youth Committe and Emmet County 4-H Foundation Committee.
4-H Alumni Award recognized Dave Farnum, a Poweshiek County 4-H member who now serves as a 4-H club leader and volunteer in Emmet County. Also, but not pictured, Jerry Johansen, an Emmet County 4-H member, former 4- H club leader and swine commitee member.
