4-H AMBASSADORS— Ochiltree County 4-H recently elected their new Ambassadors for 2025-2026. 4-H Ambassadors help promote Ochiltree 4-H in the community, through a number of events and projects, including the Wheatheart Celebration parade, Family Fun Nights, 4-H recruitment nights, the County Livestock Show and Sale, and more.
