New 4-H educator begins in Weston County Dec. 1Wyoming A full-time 4-H youth educator will start Dec. 1 in Weston County. Crystal Krein will join the Weston County University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service office in Newcastle, said Susan James, federal relations and staff development coordinator with UW CES. "This is a new position for Weston County," said James. "The Weston County commissioners have been very supportive of Cooperative Extension and the growth of the 4-H program." Leadership for the 4-H youth program was shared by area Extension educators Vicki Hayman and Bill Taylor. This new position will devote a full-time person to development of 4-H youth programs in Weston County. Krein has been employed as the 4-H youth educator in Big Horn County since March 2007. She has a bachelor's degree in range management/livestock with minors in ag marketing and ag communications from Chadron State College in Chadron, Neb. Krein grew up on a ranch 50 miles south of Newcastle in Niobrara County, where she was a 10-year member of 4-H. She completed a 4-H internship in both Weston and Niobrara counties. "Crystal's Extension experience and knowledge of the Weston County 4-H program will be an asset as she works to enhance the current program and growth of youth development programs," said James. 12/1/08 Date: 11/25/08 Advertisement
