Smith County 4-H was proud to host its 8th Annual 4-H Awards Banquet at the Smith County Ag Center on the evening of Thursday, November 6, 2025. Each year, our banquet brings together 4-H’ers and family members, volunteers, donors, community supporters, Extension staff, and friends that make our local 4-H program possible.
We had the pleasure of recognizing 53 of our most active and involved 4-H’ers from the past year. These 4-H’ers were recognized for their outstanding club and project work, contest participation, and community involvement.
We also enjoyed a delicious meal together, which was catered by Stroud’s BBQ from Cookeville, Tennessee, and generously sponsored by Smith County Farm Bureau.
