The recipients of the top awards for the 2017 Huntington County 4-H Fair have both left this world, but their work here will be felt for years.

That award went to the late Phil Kreider, who died in January. The second award, Friend of Extension, went to the late John Tyner, who died in September of 2016. The families of both men accepted the honors.
