4-H Gala Honors One of Our Own

On October 3, 2009, 4-H supporters gathered at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for an evening of science fun and discovery as everyone experienced the electricity of 4-H. There were science experiments, wind contraptions, cockroach races, rocket launches, and a 4-H planetarium show. The master of ceremonies was Colorado Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll.

It was a special night for Douglas County also. One of our own 4-Hers was honored for her lightning photo which was prominently displayed with seven other lightning photos from around the state. Colette Worcester proudly answered questions about how she captured the lightning striking near Castle Rock. A very determined young woman, Colette said she took over 600 photographs to catch that one mesmerizing picture.

Colette's picture will be on display throughout the state in the next year. Congratulations, Colette!
