Congratulations!

Congratulations to all Upton 4-H Club members who completed Records last year and received recognition, ribbons, medals, trophies at the Worcester County 4-H Awards Banquet last night!!

The big surprise for our Club was: We won the Boyd Award! This was in recognition of the Club, as a whole, for participating and volunteering at the 2008 Worcester County 4-H Fair! We received the award last night, with "The Upton 4-H Club" engraved on it, adding to the list of all the clubs that have won it over the years. We will bring it to our next club meeting for everyone to see!

Our Club also received a Certificate of Recognition for Reaching Out to Military Families in MA, which was presented by Gretchen May:

I have made copies of this certificate for all members who participated in the OMK Yellow Ribbon Event held in Worcester on February 28th.

The Banquet was held at the Spencer Country Inn. (Here are some pictures, but they didn't come out very good because of the lighting!)
