Chase Palmer Camp Scholarship Awarded

Karson Demott is the proud recipient of the Chase Palmer Scholarship for 2008. Karson is a 5th Grader attending Hamilton Elementary School in Moultrie. She has been very active in many 4-H activities such as; being Hamilton 5th grade club President, exhibiting a Steer & hog, and participating in Cloverleaf DPA. Below she is pictured exhibiting her show pig.

Chase Palmer was an outstanding young man and 4-H’er.  Chase was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 2003.  He was involved in Colquitt County 4-H and in the Southwest District 4-H programs.  Chase believed in the 4-H motto of “Making the Best Better.”  He enjoyed all areas of 4-H, especially summer camp.  Chase’s parents, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Palmer established this scholarship to be given each year to a deserving 4-H’er. Congratulations Karson!
