Montague County 4-H celebrated its members, volunteers and supporters during the annual awards banquet Monday night.
From recordbooks to project pins and star awards, there were honors for many. Guests also enjoyed a speaker who shared his story of dyslexia and how he succeeded despite being told certain things were “out of his grasp.”
Gold Star, the top senior member award in 4-H, went to Madelyn McFarland, Montague 4-H. The Silver Stars went to Maddax McCollum, Bowie 4-H, and Raegan Hughes, Bowie 4-H.

It’s time for Clear the Shelter on Aug. 24 and the community is invited to take part in a day dedicated to finding forever homes for unwanted or uncared for dogs and cats.
Volunteers at the Bowie Animal Shelter will take part in this nationwide event from 8 a.m. to noon at the shelter located at 1504 E. Wise.
Low-cost vaccines will be provided for cats and dogs through Cross Timbers Veterinary Hospital from 8 to 11 a.m. Microchip your pet for $15 through the shelter volunteers.
For those interested in adopting a pet, all adoption fees have been waived on Clear the Shelter Day. If you have been considering adoption, this would be a good day to visit with the animals.
