AMES, Iowa – Lisa Wehr of Keokuk County received a state 4-H dog project award that includes a $100 savings bond from the Iowa 4-H Foundation. Wehr, 17, is the daughter of Larry and Rhonda Wehr of Sigourney.

During her eight years in 4-H, Wehr has completed several major projects including dog, sheep, dairy, photography and leadership. She has received county level honors such as an agricultural award and top photography exhibit. She has been vice president, historian and secretary of her 4-H club. She has served on her county 4-H council and participated in the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference and Citizenship-Washington Focus.
