Fremont 4-H Fair
It was a busy week last week for many of our county 4-H members as they took part in the Fremont 4-H Fair held at Christensen Field in Fremont. Results of all their activities can be found in a separate article. Details on the results of the static exhibits will be shared next week.
However, I do want to congratulate Brent Miller of Lyons on being crowned King of the Fremont 4-H Fair. This honor comes after a long, varied and successful 4-H career and he is very deserving.
The Burt County Fair is coming right up August 7-11, but we’ve got some pre-fair activities to tend to before then.
4-H Pie Day I
The first 4-H pie making day will be held this Thursday, July 16 in Tekamah in the Methodist Church basement beginning at 8:00 a.m. All help is appreciated to make short work of assembling these homemade pies. If you don’t know HOW to make a pie, this is a GREAT place to learn! You don’t have to be a 4-H family to help out, all help is appreciated, so stop by to help out.
4-H Rocket Launch
The 4-H Rocket Launch is set for 6:30 p.m. this Thursday, July 16th at Roger’s Sod Farm just south of Decatur. This is a fun evening of excitement and comradery as everyone wants everyone else to have a successful launch and do what they can to make that happen. 4-H members planning to participate are encouraged to call the Extension office at 402-374-2929 by noon the day of the contest to pre-enter. Spectators are always welcome, just bring a lawn chair.
Clothing and Fashion Show Pre-entries:
All Burt County clothing and fashion show entries are due Monday, July 20th so please get them in the Extension Office so the modeling schedule can be made up and sent out.
Ice Cream Buckets & Sweet Corn Requests:
We are asking all our faithful supporters to donate Ice Cream Buckets with Lids for 4-H Kitchen. The 4-H Kitchen needs of ice cream buckets to store left overs, chopped veggies, etc. during the fair. If you have more buckets (with lids) than you need, please bring them to the Burt County Extension Office and we’ll be happy to get them to the fairgrounds in time for the fair.
We are also looking for donations of sweet corn on Thursday evening or Friday of the fair as a new veggie offered for one day only. If you have extra sweet corn on August 6 or 7th we’d appreciate any donations and we’re always looking for cucumbers, so please keep the 4-H Kitchen in mind! Thank you!
