Eden Valley-Watkins Senior Adrienne Lipinski is Meeker County’s 4-Her for the month of March. Adrienne has participated in 4-H for 13 years and has grown to be a strong leader and role model. She has served as the Valley Victors’ club secretary, historian, photographer, and vice president. She also represents Meeker county through the ambassador program. As vice president, Adrienne took leadership roles to serve the community. She organized a back-to-school shopping trip, and helped move the Eden Valley Food Shelf. 
Adrienne says, “4-H has given me so many opportunities to grow in animal science and the livestock industry.” Public speaking and communications in 4-H have helped her choose her Agricultural Communications major. Showing swine, beef cattle, and poultry has presented the knowledge to help run her family’s farm. These skills as well as public speaking have led her to success in FFA as well.
“There are so many aspects you pursue and grow as a person,” Adrienne points out. Her favorite part of 4-H is that there is a project area for everyone. Although she loves showing her animals, 4-H can lead to development, leadership and responsibility, without a farm. There are plenty of project areas that do not involve any aspects of agriculture.
Adrienne has been an outstanding 4-Her throughout her career. She is proud of her hard work in her diverse range of project areas.
Her favorite 4-H memory was receiving ninth place in the advanced division of poultry showmanship at the 2019 State Fair. She has been a role model and mentor to many 4-Hers over the years, and has led a positive and successful 4-H career.
Congratulations, Adrienne!
