Area youths, leaders gain all-star notice
Twelve 4-H members and leaders from across Fredericksburg are named Virginia 4-H All Stars

Eight 4-H members and four leaders from the Fredericksburg region have earned the highest recognition Virginia 4-Hers can achieve.
The 12 have been named Virginia 4-H All Stars, a group whose motto is "Service," according to the Virginia Tech website.
All Stars are asked to support 4-H activities throughout the state; do public speaking on the local, regional and state levels; and attend district and state conferences.
The local All Stars represent six different counties in the Fredericksburg area. They're among more than 90 inductees from across the state who will be recognized during the 4-H State Congress at Virginia Tech next month.
