JC 4-H Kings chosen

Jewell County 4-H members competed for the title of Jewell County 4-H King. The 4-H king serves as an ambassador for the Jewell County 4-H program by promoting 4-H at events throughout the year and assisting with ribbon and award presentations at the Jewell County Fair.

This year's 4-H king is Lenden Worm. Lenden is a 9-year member of the Webber Wide Awake 4-H Club and is the son of Mike and Deb Worm of rural Webber. Lenden is the president of the Webber Wide Awake 4-H Club and the vice president of the Jewell County 4-H Council. The biggest impact of 4-H for Lenden was KYLF – Kansas Youth Leadership Forum. Lenden is an 11th grader at Superior Public Schools where he is active in student council, FFA and Community Service Club. He said 4-H has made a difference in his life by making him find a passion for what he loves. He currently works as an electrician and if it was not for 4-H, he never would have found his passion for it.
