Tecumseh’s David Gehret and Northwestern’s Lindsay Fries were crowned 4-H Prince & Princess on Tuesday, July 26 during the annual awards ceremony at the Clark County Fair.

Princess Lindsay Fries, a 2016 graduate of Northwestern high school, seeks to leave a 4-H legacy behind by taking on a greater leadership role in her final 4-H year. She wants to promote the many 4-H possibilities to Clark County youth especially those that may not realize what 4-H has to offer. Serving as an Ohio 4-H Ambassador and in numerous club leadership roles, she has learned the importance of service to the community and the 4-H program.

Prince David Gehret wants everyone to know how much 4-H has shaped his life. He can’t remember a summer that hasn’t been packed with 4-H projects, camp and managing time and money to care for his animals. An 8-year member of The Little Rascals 4-H club, he hopes to spark others to become more active members within the 4-H club and the overall program.

Evan Callicoat was crowned the 2016 4-H King and Jamie Gothard the 2016 4-H Queen.

According to their website, 4 H is delivered by Cooperative Extension—a community of more than 100 public universities across the nation that provides experiences where young people learn by doing. Kids complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and citizenship, in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. Kids experience 4 H in every county and parish in the country—through in-school and after-school programs, school and community clubs and 4 H camps.
