Virginia Prey
A 4-H volunteer for over ten years, Virginia helps the Lancaster County 4-H Horse program in a variety of ways:
- she helped develop the 4-H Horse Special Needs Trail Show at the Lancaster County Super Fair in 2007 and continues to be superintendent of the show
- member of the Horse Volunteers in Program Service (VIPS) Committee
- formed and was leader of the Viken Riders 4-H club
- has provided horses to horseless youth
"I like being a 4-H volunteer because it allows me to give back to the community," says Virginia. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is watching kids grow and develop."
