The "Pregame"

Just like every other activity 4-H takes tremendous preparation! Last night I was helping out with 4-H work night. For those of you who don't know what this entails- It's a night where most of the 4-H families get together to work on setting up for the fair. You break up into your different projects or "departments" and spruce up your area. For example people in Foods and Nutrition clean the cases where the Grand Champion projects will be placed. In the Livestock barns we put the arena together, set bleachers up, set up our stalls, and put wood chips down. To say the least fair work night is a busy night!


But what really touched me last night was walking into our beef barn and seeing 15+ kids under the age of 10 stomping down wood chips. I know it doesn't sound like much but this really brought back memories for me. This fair will be my last- I'm officially getting too old for all this fun :)


But it also reminds me how much of a family activity 4-H is. 4-H is a great way to make new friends and become closer as a family.  This year at the fair I will try to take pictures and snapshots of all our  fair fun. So keep checking in!


Try to stay cool!


God Bless,
