staff, and family members gathered at Beaver Lodge in Hope on October 19 for the 2025 Knox-Lincoln 4-H Year-End Celebration. It was wonderful to see everyone in person on a beautiful fall day to celebrate the accomplishments of Knox-Lincoln 4-H members for the past year!<\/p>\n<p>Presentations were given by several members. Each of these experiences were funded in part by the Knox-Lincoln 4-H Leaders Association and the Oxton Trust Fund. Members: If you are interested in participating in any of these opportunities (or others), don&#8217;t let finances be a barrier. Just ask county staff what funding is available for you to participate!<\/p>\n<p>Jolly Farmers member <strong>Kyra B.<\/strong> told us about her experience at the Leadership 2 program at Tanglewood 4-H Camp. Charlotte Ramsdell, also of the Jolly Farmers, described her time at Blueberry Cove 4-H Camp. <strong>Hayden C.<\/strong>\u00a0of the Aldermere Achievers was unable to attend, but he provided a display about the club&#8217;s experience at the Belted Galloway Junior National Show in Louisville, KY. Independent member <strong>Anna P.<\/strong> spoke about her time at Ignite by 4-H in Washington, D.C.. <strong>Sabrinnah D.<\/strong> of the Jolly Farmers spoke to us about her participation in 4-H National Conference in Washington, DC. this past spring.<\/p>\n<p>A musical performance was provided by <strong>Mariyah L.<\/strong> of the Jolly Farmers. Mariyah played\u00a0 several short selections on her cello. This was a wonderful treat for us all!<\/p>\n<p>Two Cloverbuds were honored for their completion of their first year in 4-H: <strong>Helen G. <\/strong>of Byre Clan and<strong> Blake S.<\/strong> of Jolly Farmers. Two members who have aged out of the 4-H program were recognized for the achievement of completing eleven and thirteen years respectively as active 4-H members: <strong>Anna P. <\/strong>and<strong> Anthony D.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leader- and staff-nominated awards included Team Player: <strong>Mariyah L.<\/strong>, Personal Growth: <strong>Kyra B.<\/strong>, Community Service: <strong>Sabrinnah D.,<\/strong> Leadership: <strong>Hayden C., <\/strong>and Citizenship: <strong>Anthony D.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We received 21 Project Records and one Cloverbud Activity Record this year. Each Project Record submitted earned members a year pin, project pin, and a gift card to Tractor Supply Co. Stores, with values ranging from $20-$50 based on the quantity and quality of the record components submitted, with some members submitting multiple records. Cloverbuds received a year pin, ribbon, and a $20 gift card. Thank you to our judges, Kathleen Gross, Kat Newcombe, and Valerie Jackson<strong><em>.

(Knox-Lincoln)<\/strong> who was part of the Maine 4-H Equine Team at the Big E this fall! September 18 \u2013 21, 2025, Maine sent eight 4-H youth delegates to the Big E on the equestrian team.\u00a0 Each member had a chance to compete in riding classes like equitation, pleasure, discipline rail, and in-hand fitting and showmanship (and more!).\u00a0 A favorite each year has been the costume class, as well as gaming classes, such as arena racing and barrel racing. Participants also compete in a general knowledge and horse judging contest. We are so proud of each rider and teen leader who represented Maine, and very competitively placed against the other New England State teams.\u00a0 Congratulations to the whole team: <strong>Anna P (Knox\/Lincoln), Madison E (Penobscot), Molly L (And\/Sag), Ruby D (And\/Sag), Liz B (And\/Sag), Lola V (And\/Sag), Dorothy J (And\/Sag), Lucy B (Franklin)<\/strong>.

These roles can be filled by any 4-H volunteer enrolled in Knox and Lincoln Counties, be they independent, a club leader, or an assistant club leader.<\/p>\n<p>Three of our current officers have self-nominated to continue their roles, while the role of President is currently open. Early nominations are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>President: <strong><em>no nominations yet<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nVice President: Charly Peaslee<br \/>\nTreasurer: Carol Higley-Ramsdell<br \/>\nSecretary: Joelle Albury<\/p>\n<p>Nominations are being accepted for all officer positions through December 31, and we are particularly looking for someone to take on the role of president.
