Ashtabula County 4-H Week!!

Head, Heart, Hands, Health
This week is Ashtabula Co. 4-H Week!! Our club really goes all out for 4-H Week! We have a locker decorating contest for all the 4-H members at our elementary school. On Thursday, we will be having a huge assembly at the school. Our 4-H Educator and 4-H program assistant will come out and judge the lockers and then do an awesome slide presentation! We have a great prize pack for the winner! Last night we went to the ice cream social put on by our 4-H Educator and the 4-H Committee. It was wonderful! What a great turn out!! The place was packed!!! Everyone enjoyed it! The custard was to die for! I asked to have the brownie put in the bottom of my bowl and then the custard, then carmel sauce and then hot fudge sauce! YUM-MO! Thanks to another advisor for suggesting that! Anyway, the kids played cool games all evening! We learned some cool games to bring back to our club! Our club has really grown in the last few weeks! We may end up with 60 members! It is great working with all the wonderful kids and their projects! Our club is a general club and we have every animal at the fair! Pigs, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, sheep, dairy cows, dairy heifers, dairy beef feeders, steers! Plus we have many general projects such as rockets, archery, woodworking, punchneedle, scrapbooking, cooking, vet science, insects and more! There are 4 advisors that work with the group. It keeps us all very busy! But fair week makes it all worthwhile! We usually have a few members chosen to attend The Ohio State Fair! It is great to see all the completed projects! If you see a 4-H member, be sure to wish them a:

Happy 4-H Week!!
