2017 Wood County 4-H Key Awards

Elizabeth Lavin of the Fantastic Shamrocks 4-H Club has been involved in the

4-H program for 9 years. She has participated in the clothing, woodworking,

photography and foods projects. She has been the president and vice president

of her club, served the county as a camp counselor, been a delegate to State

4-H & Youth Conference in Madison, and has been an active member of PALS.

She has also participated in Creative Arts Day as an actress in one act plays and

skits as well as vocal solos.

One of the most important leadership roles Elizabeth has experienced

has been her involvement with the State Drama Company. She has been a

member of this group for the past 3 years. This is an experience she wouldn’t trade for anything. She has

met lifetime friends while growing as a performer and leader. Being a part of this group means she helps

to write and perform in a show at Youth Conference in Madison and at State Fair in Milwaukee. Elizabeth

feels that the leadership skills she has learned through 4-H especially with the State Drama Company have

been important in making her who she is today. Elizabeth’s future involves getting a degree in criminal

justice.

Jenna Snortheim a member of the Kountry Kids 4-H Club for ten years. Jenna has been involved in many

projects throughout her 4-H years – from cultural arts, child care, foods, photography, sheep, plant and soil

science, woodworking and computers to name a few. One of the projects that have helped her with her

leadership skills is the natural science project. She uses what she has learned in that project to teach 4th

graders at her school’s school forest in the spring when they tap trees for

maple sap. Jenna has attended space camp and Leadership Washington

Focus. She is currently her club’s vice-president and has been their

secretary. She is also active in PALS and hopes to be their president

someday. She has participated in many fashion and foods revues often

receiving a Best of Show for her work. Her leadership skills showed when she

ran activities at Creative Arts Day, did a TV interview to promote the fair,

organized the Kiss a Critter contest, and helped plan the annual volleyball

tournament. Jenna is a 10th graders at Auburndale High School with plans

to teach.

chairperson. In 2012 she attended the State 4-H & Youth Conference in Madison

and has also attended Fall Forum for the last two years. Her most important

leadership role was that of president. Through that role she gained confidence and

became a role model for the younger members. She has participated in Creative

Arts Day as part of the music group, one-act plays and arts and crafts. She started

her dog project by using the project leader’s dog and after years of work she was

finally able to convince her family that she was ready to be a dog owner. In 2015 she was awarded
