“The 4-H Name & Emblem is a highly valued mark within our country’s history. As such, it was granted a very unique and special status; it is in a category similar to the Presidential Seal and the Olympic Emblem. This federal protection makes it a mark into and of itself with protection that supersedes the limited authorities of both a trademark and a copyright. As a result, responsibility and stewardship for the 4-H Name & Emblem were not given to the U.S. Patent Office but were given to a higher level of the federal government, a member of the Cabinet, the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary has responsibility for the 4-H Name and Emblem, at the direct request of Congress. The ’18 USC 707’ is the statement in the United States Code that outlines the protection of the 4-H Name & Emblem.”
This year, there are two candidates for Prince: Deegan Bondy and Dalton Landefeld. Deegan is a member of the Outlaw Classics 4-H Club and the son on Schuyler and Kisha Bondy of Beallsville. Dalton’s parents are Darin and Misty Landefeld of Woodsfield and he is a member of the Buckeye Kids 4-H Club.
Second-year Coach Rusty Bondy hopes his young Beallsville team is ready to take the next step during the 2022 season.
