Lydia Harrison, a Henryetta resident and 2018 Home School graduate, received the Dr. Kennamer Academic Scholarship from the 3 Rivers Limbhanger’s Regional Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation.
The $500 scholarship was presented after Harrison provided an essay describing her commitment to conservation and preserving “her” hunting heritage. In her essay she reflects on how her dad taught her “good work ethic”, and “how to accomplish goals” as they would prepare for the upcoming hunting season. “He taught me how to respect the wildlife and in turn to respect life.” Lydia says she “learned patience and how to revel in the alone time” while hunting.
Her parents are Rick and Dayna Harrison.
