Hello 4-H Families,

This newsletter covers June and July, two busy months in the 4-H World!  This year, we are doing things a little differently, but we are still offering a variety of virtual summer experiences for our members!  The State Fair will be held July 23-August 1.  Keep an eye out for more details of how entries will be brought to the Fair and other important Fair information!  Thank you to our members who participated in the Virtual Links Spring Fair!  We had over 200 entries!

Congratulations to our fourteen 4-H high school graduates: Jenna Anger, Destiny Carmona, Dylan Carpenter, Megan Cathell, Carly Diehl, Katie Ekholm, Madison Johnson, Mckensie Lewis, Trey Lodge, Kyle Morris, Alex Nechay, Neva Nowell, Madison Pete and Nathanael Schnell.  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 chapter in 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!  Virtual State Camp, Virtual Experience Extension Day Camp, State Fair, and Virtual Sussex Day Camp along with other statewide virtual camps will be great summer 4-H activities. During this time and throughout the year, please remember to check your email and the online newsletter regularly for news and updates.  Hope to see you in person soon!

Yours in 4-H,
