The “Friends of 4-H” were also honored during the contest, with the 2020 winner also being announced due to last year’s COVID restrictions cutting out some of the honors.

The 2020 Friend of 4-H is Adena Health System, while the 2021 honor went to the “late” Phil Hurtt, who served for many years with Ross County 4-H. Hurtt passed away several weeks ago. He was also honored with the rarely awarded Junior Friend of 4-H.
