We will be offering a 4-H Holiday Maker Day! Tessa used to offer this in her old county and it was a hit! It is an opportunity for youth to create a gift for someone or for themself.

This will be held on Thursday, December 19th at the Keith County Fairgrounds from 4-6 pm. This event is open to ALL youth ages 5-18, so tell your friends to join us for a fun filled time! Youth may select up to 5 projects to complete. We will also have a free hot coca station and cookie decorating station!

Registrations are due December 3rd. We must have the Registration Form for your child to be registered. 1 form per youth please.

We are looking for older youth & adults to help at our Holiday Maker Day on December 19th! If you are interested, please let the office know by December 9th. You can teach the station with someone else such as a friend, your kid, etc. If you have a preference in which station you lead, let us know.

One of the keys to making the 4-H Holiday Maker Day a success is having lots of volunteers to help teach! All the stations go on at the same time. Each volunteer will be provided the lesson and instructions before the day.

KEITH:

Premium Money - We still have the 2024 fair ribbon premium cash in our office. If you haven't picked it up, please do before the end of the year.
