The Stevens County 4-H Council hosted their annual Businessmen’s Appreciation Dinner Sunday, April 24, 2016. The entertainment was presented by 4-H members who received Blue Ribbons at County Club Day for music and talent presentations.

Each year the 4-H Council recognizes our business people who support 4-H programs. The 2016 Friend of 4-H Award was presented to Mills Farms and Pioneer Seed. Doug and Rita Mills have regularly purchased animals and foods at the Stevens County 4-H Foods and Livestock Auctions, and have supported fund raisers and club activities through the years. They are always ready to support 4-H any way they can.

As parents and grandparents of 4-H’ers, Doug and Rita regularly attend 4-H events such as Club Days, Horse Shows, Fashion Revue, and Creative Cooks Contest. They have also served in the past as Project and Club Leaders.

The 4-H Council appreciates Doug and Rita for their support of the 4-H Programs in Stevens County.
