• I will leave Hooker county items in the Mullen office tomorrow afternoon, September 8th. Please pick these up tomorrow if possible. We do not want items to sit in the office for months again. Also, your checks are with the items, and these must be cashed right away!
• Hyannis, I will be at the school at 1:45 MT to start dropping off since school is out early on Fridays. If possible, please pick items up directly from me. It makes it easier on the school’s staff if we don’t leave items in their office. If you cannot pick up tomorrow, please let me know asap so we can get things worked out. There will not be checks with the Grant county items because the state made a mistake. My office will contact you when your checks are ready.
• Dunning/Brewster, I will drop your items off on Monday morning at 9:30 AM. Let me know if this works for you. We will meet at the school.

Thank You - Shaniya Albertus

We want to thank everyone that helped to make all 4 county fairs a success! Fairs would not be possible without the hard work of our 4-Hers, volunteers, parents, 4-H Council members, and local Ag Societies!
