Stephanie Polk has been organizational leader of the Star City Cornhuskers 4-H club for five years. Prior to that, she was a parent volunteer with the Harmony Hill Horse 4-H club for three years. A Nebraska 4-H Club of Excellence, the Star City Cornhuskers has done several community service projects under Stephanie’s leadership, including obtaining headstones for two civil war veterans with unmarked graves in Roca Cemetery. She has also helped staff shifts at 4-H Council’s food booth during the Lancaster County Super Fair.

“It is very rewarding -- and fun -- to watch the club members grow and learn new skills,” said Stephanie. “I especially enjoy watching the kids be recognized and rewarded for their efforts at the county fair and various contests.”
