Otoe County 4-H Wednesday What-Nots
August 7, 2024
SHOUT OUTS
Shout out to Taytum, Sydney, and Carter Hoffman! They were a tremendous help from start to finish with Poultry Cleanup. This shows the true meaning of 4-H, as these 3 don't even show poultry! They just saw the need for help and Jumped right in! (Mom and dad too.
Shout out to Jacob Wood. When fellow 4Hers were unable to Show their poultry entries due to medical reasons Jacob was more than willing to help with whatever needed to be done to be sure the 4-Her's animals were shown. Jacob doesn't even show poultry of his own! Jacob also stuck around after the show was completed and helped clean the building up.
Thank you to all of our volunteers that made the 2024 Otoe County Fair possible!
