KAHOKA, Mo. — Clark County 4-H is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Clark County Fair High Point Ag Youth Awards, a brand-new recognition created and sponsored by Hometown Radio Group (KMEM & KUDV) & Brownfield Ag Network. Introduced this year, the awards were developed to spotlight exceptional youth exhibitors who demonstrate dedication, leadership, and excellence in their fair projects. The awarded belt buckles were presented in person by Corey Stott, General Manager of Hometown Radio Group, who is pictured with both recipients.
The inaugural High Point Senior (14+) Award was presented to Dakota Kirchner, who distinguished herself through outstanding effort and involvement in the livestock barns. Dakota exhibited in both the beef and sheep divisions, demonstrating strong project knowledge, consistent hard work, and admirable sportsmanship throughout the 2025 fair. Her focus, determination, and leadership made her a standout among senior exhibitors.
The first-ever High Point Junior (13-) Award was awarded to Lily Teeter, whose versatility and enthusiasm were evident across multiple areas of the fair. Lily exhibited in the Art Hall, Goats, and Equine divisions, showing creativity, responsibility, and a deep commitment to learning. Her well-rounded participation and positive attitude exemplify what it means to be an engaged junior exhibitor.
University of Missouri Extension in Clark County extends its heartfelt appreciation to Hometown Radio Group & Brownfield Ag Network for initiating this award and for their continued support of youth agriculture. Their commitment to uplifting and recognizing young leaders enriches the experience and opportunities available to Clark County’s agricultural youth.
“The Hometown Radio Group Youth Achievement Award, presented in partnership with the Brownfield Ag Network, is designed to recognize our outstanding 4-H and FFA youth who have shown the highest levels of participation and achievement in their county fairs. Dakota and Lily have both exemplified that commitment to excellence at the Clark County Fair as 4-H and FFA members. The future of our junior county fairs, and to a larger extent, our local agricultural industries, will be shaped by today's youth. We are very proud to recognize these two outstanding individuals for their hard work.” Said General Manager, Corey Stott
