Friday night was a time to recognized and honour the achievements of members of Peel 4-H with the annual Awards Night at Brampton Fairgrounds. The accomplishments of various clubs were highlighted, and some of the top performers were singled out for recognition. If these young folks look a little weighted down with hardware, it’s probably because they are. They were some of the major award winners. Nicole Intranuovo was recognized as the most enthusiastic first-year member, Nicole French received the Kiwanis Citizenship Award, Amelia Judge was presented with the Carl Madgett Memorial Leadership Award, Kyle Carberry was cited for the top Dairy score and Kori deBoer won the J.A. Carroll Challenge Award for the highest overall score.

Julie and Nicole French were MCs for the evening.

Kori deBoer and Kyle Carberry were presented with prizes for graduating the 4-H program with honours. The presentations were made by Caledon Junior Fair Ambassador Tucker Hardy, Bolton Junior Fair Ambassador Callie Dowds and Bolton Senior Fair Ambassador Ashley Harding.
