Amie Griffith, daughter of Lori Newman and Markland Griffith, is pictured accepting the Bob Shanks Outstanding Youth Award before the beef sale at the 2013 Highland County Fair.

A $1,000 scholarship goes with the award, which encourages exceptional youth to continue their education and possibly return to Highland County to work.

Griffith is a 2013 graduate of Hillsboro High School and is currently a freshman at The Ohio State University majoring in Fashion and Retail Studies and minoring in Business. She is pictured with Ohio State University Extension 4-H Youth Development Educator, Kathy Bruynis.

The Bob Shanks Outstanding Youth Scholarship Award, an endowment fund, was established in honor of Robert B. Shanks whose enthusiastic leadership, advice and friendship was an inspiration to the youth in Highland County.
