Jaden Bussard, 17, of the Blue Heron 4-H Club in Lakeport was selected as a medalist for the California State Record Book Competition for the 2016-17 program year. Each year, 4-H youth complete record books to highlight all they have done for the past year in 4-H and the community. Now in his fifth year, Bussard participates in advanced rabbits, poultry, outdoor adventure, cooking, leadership, and community service projects. He is actively involved in both his 4-H club and the community. He is the Youth 4-H Council Representative, teen leader of his rabbit project, and has served as both President and Vice-President of his club.
