Several of our Rio Blanco 4-H members received top placings at the Rio Blanco County Fair and we were honored to have them represent our county at the Colorado State Fair. We are proud to share their accomplishments with the community. Today’s 4-H members are tomorrow’s leaders. Well done! | VANESSA TROUT PHOTO/TONYA MERZ CUTLINE
