MITCHELL CO. FAIR…. July 31—Aug. 5
Dear 4-H Families,
Apr. 15-21 is National Volunteer Week. Please be sure to thank your 4-H leaders for all
the time and effort they put in for your 4-H club. Without them, the 4-H program in
Mitchell Co. would not be possible and it would not be as great as it is!
I hope everyone has had a chance to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we have
had. Now is a great time to set goals for what you and your family would like to accom-
plish in 4-H this year. Be sure to write down your goals. Statistics show you are more
likely to accomplish your goals if you write them down! You can keep track of what your
goals are and what you have done in your 4-H record book. Remember to take pictures
along the way to include with your records too.
Speaking of 4-H record keeping, we had a fantastic turn out at the 4-H Record Book
Workshop last week. The following youth, along with parents attended:
Ryan Adams, Alex Baldwin, Gage Belz, Destini Blake, Melanie Bye, Nolan Byrnes,
Thomas Church, Makayla Eagen, Chris Eastman, Erik Gerdts, Chase Halbach, Morgan
Heinen, Whitney Hemann, Brecken Huisman-Buringrud, Kalyn Jensen, Sam Juenger,
Emma Klapperich, Kate Mostek, Makayla Mostek, Erica Nasstrom, Preston Pollard,
Josie Popp, Emma Retterath, Jack Sievert, Noah Sletten, Joe Theis, Ryan Wagner,
and Zoe Wynohrad.
Sincerely,
Tracy Scharper Mitchell Co. 4-H & Youth Coordinator
