Aged Out But Not Forgotten Most years there is an exhibitor who ages out of 4-H. This year we have two very active dog exhibitors who have shown for the last time. Mikaela Moore from Rural Rebels and Sam Georgevich from Precious Pups. Both grew up in 4-H and the dog project having been members at least since they were 9 year old. Both have served as officers of their clubs and Mikaela as the JFB Dog Department chair and both have been members of the K-9 Royal Court. On behave of Dog Council we wish each of you success and we know we will see you at the fun shows and fair.
