During the month of May and June, we are highlighting Milam County 4-H graduates of 2021. We are so proud of these youth as they have worked very hard, for most of them, over 10 years in 4-H. They have competed in numerous competitions and have gained life skills they will use their entire life. This week Kincaid Callahan and Addie Reisner are in the 4-H spotlight.
Callahan is the son of Billy Mac and Cassie Callahan. He is a Cameron 4-H Club member and has been in 4-H for 12 years (including cloverbud years). His main projects include: Beef for 3 years, Public Speaking for 2 years, Science, Engineering and Technology for 2 years, Food and Nutrition for 8 years. He has served as club president, vice president and secretary. His extracurricular activities include Yoe tennis, Yoe FFA, UIL and NHS. Kincaid plans to attend Texas A&M in the fall and to major in Ag Communications and Journalism. In his biography, Kincaid wrote, “My favorite 4-H memories come from leading meetings as club president. I truly appreciate the leadership skills and opportunities I learned.”
Reisner has participated in 4-H since first grade as a Clover-Kid. She has participated in Shooting Sports since third grade. She also showed chickens for several years as well as participating in home economics. She has won grand champion cake and made some sales with her chickens. She was also the proud winner of the showmanship award at the Rockdale Fair. In shooting sports, she has competed in smallbore pistol, smallbore rifle, muzzle loading, air pistol, air rifle, compound archery, and hunting and wildlife. She has received many awards over the years. The top one was representing Texas at the National Shooting Sports Competition four years in a row held in Grand Island, Nebraska. Reisner has also been a Shooting Sports ambassador for four years and has traveled all over the state promoting Shooting Sports. She has served as an officer for Milam County Shooting Sports for the past six years.
She has received her assistant’s coach’s certification for pistol and rifle, which will enable her to give back to Shooting Sports once she graduates.
She will graduate from Rogers High School with 27 hours of college credit and many awards for Ag Mechanics projects through FFA. She plans to attend Temple College to complete her basics and then move on to Tarleton State University to complete her degree.
