Representatives were: Ayden Wyatt, Meredith Potter, Emma Haynes, Tia Iversen, Mia Clark, Sophia Bobbitt, William Kozak, Layla Stoudemire, Kendal and Holly Thornburg. One youth was inducted into 4-H Honor Club, two youth finished their district officer term, one youth began their district officer term, one youth finished their state officer term and one youth ran for state office. Franklin County had 6 youth present on the state level for 4-H presentations during Congress events and the following youth won in their categories: Ayden Wyatt-Silver in Careers and Entrepreneur, Kennedy Wyatt-Silver in Arts and Communications, Holly Thornburg - Silver in Arts and Communications, Meredith Potter- in Food and Nutrition, and Valerie Poole-Gold in Small Companion Animals.
