Nobles County Clover Digest

We have leftover items from our 4-H Snack Shack. Check out our listing of items and reserve your items today! Pick up will be on Wednesday, September 4 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm at the fairgrounds. Payment is due at pick up.

Please take some time to reflect on 4-H at the Nobles County Fair. The post-fair survey is open and will accept responses until Tuesday, September 3. As a reminder, constructive feedback includes identifying a problem and then offering tangible solutions to solve that problem. Excessively harsh feedback with no solutions is not actionable and will not be tolerated.

National 4-H Week takes place annually the first week of October. Each year, during this week, we work especially hard to promote 4-H within our community. Anna is creating a video to use on social media to share during National 4-H Week featuring Nobles County 4-H'ers, and would like your help! If you are interested in having a speaking line in our video, please email Anna by September 5 to express interest.

We have a few items that were found at the county fair. Please see the attached image. To claim your item, please email Wendy. Items not claimed by October 31 will be donated.

As clubs are working on their 2024-25 plans, please be sure to sign up for a month to host Cloverbuds. It is the expectation that all clubs host a Cloverbud event. Anna will help coordinate the details with each club.

It is time to think about your 2024-25 club charter. This annual process ensures youth have a chance to lead and the club has a calendar of events planned. All information required for club charters is on the Extension website. All club charters and 2023-2024 treasurer books are due to the office on October 14.

Reflect on your project learning this past 4-H year and complete your annual records. All 4-H records will be due to the Extension Office by October 1. All links needed to complete records are available on the Extension website. You must use the record format available on the Extension webpage to be eligible for record awards in 2024. For your reference a judging rubric is also available.

Be sure to mark Monday, October 21 on your calendars for annual volunteer training and our October Federation meeting. Annual volunteer training will take place from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. The Federation meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. A meal will be provided starting at 5:30 pm. Please RSVP for a food count. These meetings will take place at Minnesota West in Worthington.
