The Lone Butte 4-H Club had its year-end awards banquet at the Lone Butte Community Hall on Oct. 15.

We had an amazing night with a lot of awards and a great dinner of pulled pork with lots of delicious desserts that was catered by Trish Griffin. We also held our annual cake auction that is always a lot of fun.

The raffle tickets were drawn at the beginning of the night. Heidi Meier won the live spring lamb; Irene Tinney won the moose antler carving; and Lori Fry won the box of hand tied flies.
