Etna 4-H News- submitted by Abby and Lizzy Whipple The Etna 4-H Club members have been busy the past few months! The February business meeting was a short one, in order to accommodate Local Presentation Night. There were a large variety of presentations from 4-H members of all ages. This year Etna FFA club members showed their support by serving as presentation judges. Everyone agreed that this was a fun and effective way to find judges, and that the evening was a great success. The March meeting was held on March 14 th and ended with the quarter-a-dip fundraiser. Each member brought a dessert to the meeting, and afterwards, everyone got to fill a plate with treats, each piece (or dip) costing a quarter. This is one fundraiser that nobody wants to miss! By the end of the month, all projects will be underway and Etna 4-H members are all looking forward to a busy and fun spring. Tulelake Butte Valley Fair Update The Tulelake Butte Valley Fair has scheduled the pre-weigh in dates for the Market steers, lambs, hogs and goats.
