Stevens County 4-H member Channing Dillinger has earned a trip to the National 4-H Congress this November in Atlanta, Georgia.

Channing will be attending National Congress representing Kansas as the State winner in the 4-H Meat Goat project due to her 4-H project work and record keeping. Highlights of Channing’s 4-H work include serving as the county 4-H goat project leader; taking a leading role in organizing a livestock show for children with special needs; presenting a goat showmanship clinic to young 4-H members in Russell County; and raising and selling show-quality meat goats.

National 4-H Congress is a gathering of approximately 800 youth and adult chaperones from across the nation representing the highest achieving 4-H members from the past year. Activities at congress include a “Morning of Service” where the attendees perform community service projects as teams in the Atlanta schools, city parks, and other community locations. Events will also include leadership workshops, motivational speakers and tours around the city of Atlanta.

Channing is a junior at Hugoton High School and the daughter of Derek and Stacy Dillinger.
