4-H Caley Award Forms Due July 1

Two Wells County 4-H members will be selected for this year’s Caley Memorial Award at the annual 4-H Fair, July 16-21. 4-H members 14 years of age or older can be considered for the award.

Judging is based on the following: 4-H, 45%; school, 20%; community service, 20%; church or youth group, 15%.

The award will consist of a $500 scholarship. Selection will be announced on Saturday, July 16th, at 7:30 PM on the opening day of the 4-H Fair.
