RAYMOND, Miss. -- A team of Union County 4-H members recently achieved a feat that has not been accomplished in 20 years for Mississippi competitors of the youth development organization’s national scholarly contests. The Quiz Bowl Team, made up of Maddie Willard, Abby Grant, Levi Thompson and Karley Harrison, is one of just a few teams in the state to ever earn an undefeated first-place win in the Western National 4-H Roundup Horse Bowl competition.
January and February are busy times for our 4-H’ers, especially those participating in livestock!
Success Stories

Known around Cleveland, Mississippi as “The Rose Lady,” Jane Dunlap marked 30 years as a Master Gardener in 2024, but her home county lacked its own chapter for the first half of that span.
When Larry Alexander was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame last October, the honor was based on a career spent investing in young people and supporting an organization that helps kids become the best possible versions of themselves.
