Randy Owen talks with 4-H Network News

Pamela Roberts, Jefferson County 4-H coordinator and 4-H Network News leader, Randy Owen, famed country music performer, and Claire Turner, 4-H Network News reporter are pictured directly after Claire's interview with Mr. Owen.

Claire flew to Las Vegas from Port Townsend, WA to cover the 2008 Country Music Awards for 4-H. It was a great honor for her to interview Mr. Owen, especially because he has distinguished himself as a generous philanthropist for children. Mr. Owen emphasized in his comments the importance of hard work, education, and giving back to your community - all important aspects of 4-H programs.

He and 10 other country music artists are featured on a special benefit CD for 4-H titled, Clover Country.

Thank you, Mr. Owen, along with 4-H alumni Sugarland, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Vince Gill, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, and Luke Bryan!

We think you are terrific!
