Grant County 4-H members earned numerous team and individual awards, capturing a state championship, and qualifying for national competition. Their achievements reflect the hard work, dedication, and leadership that define the Grant County 4-H program.
The annual New Mexico State 4-H Conference brings together youth from across the state to compete in leadership and skill-based contests that highlight the knowledge and experiences they have gained through their involvement in 4-H. Members also have opportunities to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and represent their counties at the state level.
Leading the way was Areena Rogers, who earned High Point Individual honors in both the Hippology Contest and Horse Judging Contest. Her outstanding performances earned her two $1,500 scholarships from the New Mexico State University Department of Animal & Range Sciences, recognizing her exceptional knowledge and skill in the equine sciences.

The Grant County Sheriff's Office has been made aware of a phone scam in which individuals are impersonating Sheriff's Deputies.
Scammers are spoofing the Grant County Sheriff's Office phone number, making it appear that the calls are coming directly from our office. These callers may falsely claim that you have an outstanding warrant, missed a court date, or have unpaid tickets, and may attempt to pressure you into making an immediate payment.
Please be advised: The Grant County Sheriff's Office does not contact individuals by phone to demand payment for warrants, missed court appearances, or unpaid citations.
If you receive one of these calls:
Grant County has terminated the fire restrictions for the unincorporated portions of Grant County this morning effective today at 10:00 am July 21, 2026. Thank you
