4-H Honors you, Dennis Reynolds, with a
tribute for all that you have done.
He brought 4-H shooting
sports to Grant County.
After the wolf hearings in
Salem it was his
brainstorm to bring kids
from Urban areas to
experience Ranch life in
Eastern Oregon. The
program has now
expanded to the other
E. Oregon Counties and has
successfully reached over
600 Urban kids.

for something to do to make Grant County an amazing place to live. His
hardwork and dedication in everything he did was admirable and he will
be dearly missed.
