COBDEN — There was a lot of noise inside the Cobden Agricultural Hall as a celebration of young people was held Friday evening.
The end of year awards banquet for Renfrew County 4-H was held. There were about 250 people who attended the event to celebrate the accomplishments of the 4-H members.

The awards night was sponsored by the Renfrew County 4-H Association and the Renfrew County Federation of Agriculture.
The evening`s meal was pizza, subs and cookies and it was sponsored by Jason Jamieson.
It was a great night with plenty of fun.
