Adyson Wright of Tulelake 4-H earned a Gold for her Science Presentation and Caiden Wright also from Tulelake 4-H earned a Blue for his Sci-ence Presentation. Candy Hot Springs 4-H was represented by Emma Brandes earning a Red for her Demonstration on “Tutting”, Verity Deardorff earned a Gold for her Informa-tive Prepared Speech on “Stress”, Nuria Herlin earned a Blue for her Interpretive reading of “I have a Dream”, Duane Johnson received a Gold for his Cultural Arts Presentation of “Cello Suite”, Christopher Johnson and Rochelle Mann earned a Gold for their Science Presentation on “Black Holes”, and to round it off this year we had a group present in the “Share the Fun” Skit category, Naomi Mann, Verity Deardorff, Nuria Herlin, Grace Lin-den, Rochelle Mann, Emma Brandis, Duane Johnson and Christopher Johnson earned a Gold for “How to do Basic Swing Dancing”.
