Happy Summer! I hope everyone had a
great school year and you are looking
forward to an exciting summer. Fair
time is a busy and exciting time for 4-H
families. Remember, the focus of your
fair experience should be on your learning and growth. The knowledge and skills gained are far more important than
the results of a competitive event, ribbons awarded, and the animal or project exhibited. You are all winners be-
cause of the new knowledge and skills you have gained! The June Newsletter is full of important information. I
strongly encourage families who received the newsletter electronically to print it and have it available at home so
you do not miss out on any summer opportunities and deadlines! With 4-H Spirit, Morgan Bjerke
