What a great time for our youth! I am very proud of our Country Kids 4-H club! Everyone participated in the County Fair! Our projects included Arts, Photography, Woodworking, Horsemanship, Food Prep, and I am sure that I am forgetting some! We also had a 100% turnout for out club responsibilies at the fair buildings! It was great to see the support for 4-H and our youth! I think we all came home with new ideas for next year! Great job everyone! The Country Kids recieved 3rd place!

June was a busy month for our 4-Hers! Three of our members and friends attended 4-H camp and had a blast! You will have to ask them about all the fun they had. I think they are all ready to go back again next year!! Our club also decorated a poster board for display at the County fair, we had great participation! They also put the finishing touches on their projects for the fair. We look forward to seeing all the completed projects.

Successful Project Work Day

April 1st! We had a successful Project Work Day! Pot luck lunch was had by all members and thier families. Projects were planned, designed, and worked on by all 4-Hers. Some made yummy snacks while practicing their cooking skills. Others worked on art and photography. Some even sketched and planned wood working projects. Our main success was contributing to our duty of Citizenship and Responsibility. Our club walked the area ditches and removed trash and cleaning up the Earth. We also discussed and investigated a few animal habitats!
