Agent Letter: June/July 2022

This newsletter covers June and July, two busy months in the 4-H World!  The Delaware State Fair will be held July 21-30.  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 Kaleb, kjscott@udel.edu by Friday, June 10.  Let’s make this another Fair to remember!

May was a busy month with lots of activities.  DE 4-H members also participated in our annual Legislative Day.  The Sussex 4-H Links put on their annual Spring Fair.  Thank you to everyone who attended this event and congratulations to all members who submitted entries!  Make-up judging and demonstration contests were also held during the month of May.

Congratulations to our thirteen Sussex 4-H high school graduates! 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!  Environmental Camp, State Camp, Experience Extension Day Camp, Exchange Trip, State Fair, and Sussex 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!

Yours in 4-H,
