Mingo County Legislators To Honor 4-H
Senate Majority Leader H. Truman Chafin (D-Mingo), Senator John Pat Fanning (D-McDowell), House of Delegate Finance Chairman Harry K. White (D-Mingo) and Delegate Steve Kominar (D-Mingo) are announcing their plans to honor Mingo County 4-H members during a fun-filled evening at the Williamson City Swimming Pool.
The summer blast is scheduled for Monday, August 18th, from 7 until 10 p.m. The event will include but is not limited to; swimming, a cookout, games, contests and a dance. The evening will conclude with a bon-fire and a special 4-H ceremony.
"Mingo County is fortunate to have such a great group of kids and leaders involved with our local 4-H program," commented Senator Chafin.
"We wanted to provide them with a special evening to reward them for their dedication and commitment, and to honor their many accomplishments."
"For many years, the 4-H program has been an important component in the life’s of our local youth," said Senator Fanning. "We are hopeful this tradition will continue in the future."
"Mark Whitt, M.A. Assistant Professor and Extension Agent for the 4-H Youth Development does an outstanding job with this group of kids, and we have seen our local group grow and prosper like never before. This party gives us a chance to tell him, his faculty, staff and numerous volunteers just how much we appreciate their efforts," stated Delegate Kominar.
Several county officials, businesses and entities have donated items for the event, along with others who plan to attend to provide assistance during the evening’s activities.
"It’s gratifying to see individuals and businesses come together to help with such a worthwhile event, and we look forward to having the opportunity to spend time with these exceptional young men and women,"
remarked Chairman White.
