This newsletter covers June and July, two more busy months in the 4-H World! The Delaware State Fair will be held July 19-28. Volunteers (youth and adults) are needed to help with fair set up and take down and also Host and Hostess duties in the 4-H department at the Centre. Look for more details in this newsletter and turn your helper forms into Tammy Schirmer by Friday, June 8. Let’s make this another Fair to remember!
May’s events included Livestock Tagging and the 2nd Annual Sussex Links Spring Fair (which included judging contests, clothing showcase, and a variety of project displays). All activities were a success due to those who helped plan, implement, and take part in this event. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
Congratulations to our seventeen Sussex 4-H high school graduates: Rebecca Arpie, Brittany Carpenter, Mary Cordell, Jonte Desire, Elise Goehringer, Hannah Henderson, Jacob Hopkins, Brooke Joseph, Jill Koski, Hannah Littleton, Taylor Messick, Shawn Mitchell, Isaac O’Neal, Amberlie Rice, Robert Schnell, Hunter Severs and Hunter Wyrick. I have watched many of you grow up from Cloverbuds to teens and am very proud of the kind, responsible, talented, outgoing young men and women you have become. Use the skills you have gained from your 4-H leaders and friends to help you in this next exciting phase of your life!
June and July are sure to bring warmer weather, longer daylight hours, fun family and outdoor activities, and lots of 4-H fun! State Camp, Exchange group hosting Montana, Environmental Camp, State Fair, and Day Camp are popular summer 4-H activities. During this busy time and throughout the year, please remember to check your email and the blog regularly for news and updates. Thanks for your help!
See you at the next 4-H event!
