A Note From Miss Caitlyn
Dear Lincoln, Logan & McPherson County 4-H Families,
Good luck to the 4-Hers competing in the Lincoln County performing arts contest! No matter the outcome, your 4-H community is proud of you. As the end of the school year approaches, I always am amazed at the growth students have made from August-May. I see the same type of growth in 4-Hers over the summer! Set goals to try a new 4-H project this summer. If you are a seasoned 4-Her, consider serving as a junior leader and invite a friend to do the same. I can't wait to see LLM 4-Hers grow this summer.
*Reminder for livestock exhibitors- June 15th is a Saturday this year. This is the deadline for affidavits, state fair nominations, YQCA certifications and 4-H enrollment. The extension office will not be open. Please plan accordingly. If at all possible, please have this turned in to the office on June 14th. These will still be accepted June 17th, but no later.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,
Miss Caitlyn
