presented about a topic chosen from various categories designed to educate and
improve societal and environmental awareness among youth. The winning 4-H’ers
from each category advance to represent their district at National4-H Congress.
For Houston County 4-H, part of
the 4-H Southwest District, Senior 4-H’ers Kevin Braski and Mallorie Talvan
placed first in their respective categories, earning them Master 4-H’er status.
The title of Master 4-H’er is awarded to 4-H youth who demonstrate exceptional
proficiency in their chosen project area. Kevin Braski’s winning presentation
focuses on Workforce Development; while Mallorie Talvan’s presentation
discusses Human Development and Teenage Suicide.

the National 4-H Congress in Atlanta, Georgia, in November. While at the event,
