Here are some important Waseca County 4-H updates for you:
There will be NO “Prep Session” tonight (June 22nd) at 5:30 pm in the 4-H Building. There will also be NO painting tonight – we will be painting on Saturday, June 26, starting at 10 am instead.
Summer Adventures – Don’t forget to register for our fun summer adventures! Registration brochures are posted online or available from the Extension Office.
4-H Camp – If you attended 4-H Camp (or will be attending 4-H Camp Wed – Friday) here is a reminder on how you can get your camp reimbursement scholarship:
- Attend the Waseca County 4-H Federation meeting on Monday, June 28 at 6 pm at the 4-H Building. The camp attendees will lead the group in a camp song – come with ideas of what song you want to sing. Each family should bring a dish to share – beverages, silverware, utensils, and napkins will be provided.
- If you can’t attend the meeting, you can write a brief article on the things you did and learned at camp, or else make a scrapbook page or poster also telling what you did and learned at camp. If you choose to do the article, poster, or scrapbook page, please turn those in to the Extension Office by July 6th.
- Call Amy with questions – 507-835-0604.
Arts-In – This year’s Arts-In theme is “TV Land” and will perform several TV show theme songs. It was difficult to find practice times that everyone could make so more practices were scheduled knowing that some people will miss some. However everyone who wants to be in the show must be at the first practice or make sure you let director Steve Scheffert (507-835-3951, 507-461-5331, Back40ty@gmail.com) know before the first practice. Friends are welcome and you don’t have to be in 4-H to be in Arts-In. Here is the practice schedule - all practices are at the 4-H building from 8:30am to 10:30am (except the last one)
- Friday, June 25 First practice
