Heart of 4-H Award Winner

Myron and Barb Smith

Lancaster County 4-H is proud to announce Myron and Barb Smith as co-winners of August’s “Heart of 4-H Award” in recognition of outstanding volunteer service.

Barb has been a 4-H volunteer for nine years and Myron for four years. When their son Nathan joined 4-H in 1996, Barb organized and led the Middle Creek Munchkins 4-H club (now known as Creative Clovers). Myron has assisted as a project leader. Three years ago, the couple started a second club, Classic Cars R Us (Myron is organizational leader and Barb is assistant leader). Both have volunteered at the 4-H food booth at county fair, and presented Clover College classes (including “Antique Autos” and “Mousetrap Cars”). Barb has also helped with 4-H workshops presented at Lincoln City Libraries. “We like being 4-H volunteers because it helps youth expand their interests and skills,” said Barb. She adds, “My favorite experience is our traditional end of 4-H year achievement celebration with Creative Clovers. We have a family bicycle ride on one of the area trails.” Myron’s favorite experience, is developing automotive-related activities for the Classic Cars R Us club.

Myron and Barb also volunteer for several other organizations, including: Boy Scout Troop 290-Milford, Zion Lutheran, Milford Fine Arts Boosters, Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA), AACA’s CHIP youth program and several local antique car clubs. Congratulations to Myron and Barb! Volunteers like them are indeed the heart of 4-H!
