11/20 4-H Achievement Night

Several NKOA families joined together with other 4-H groups in Androscoggin-Sagadahoc counties for the 2008-2009 4-H Achievement Night on November 20th. We enjoyed tacos and other potluck fare; watched individual members recieve awards; and enjoyed a county-wide 4-H slide show (we had one photo included). Since 2009-2010 is our first year as a group we did not recieve any awards but we now know we have lots to look forward to for next year's Achievement Night. We can't wait until next year when our members get a chance to shine!
