Distribute cookies to donors to 4-H, businesses or people who helped you at the fair. Hand out green & white jelly beans to classmates. Write a thank you note to your 4-H leaders and others who helped you get ready for fair. Plan a day that your club can share your fair projects with others. Plan a community service and wear a 4-H t-shirt. Tell your friends about the fun you have in 4-H. Invite your friends to the fair and let them see the fun you have in 4-H Prudential Spirit of Community Awards The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards honor young people in middle level and high school grades for outstanding volunteer service to their communities.

3 4-H Market Beef Weigh-in January 8, 2011 Market steers and market heifers that are exhibited at county fair, state fair, Ak-Sar-Ben, Clay County Fair or other area 4-H events must be weighed and identified.

Identification forms (ID Forms) will be available to fill out at the weigh-in. The ID Form may be filled out during weigh-in. Enrollment Information: New for Woodbury County will be one of the pilot counties for 4-H members and volunteers to enroll in 4-H online.

Fall Volunteer Training for Club Teams of Youth and Adults Woodbury s 4-H Training is schedule for: Thursday, November 4, 7:00 p.m. (location to be determined, somewhere in Moville/County) Saturday, November 6, 9:30 am (location to be determined, somewhere in Sioux City/Sergeant Bluff) Change is in the air and our fall 4-H volunteer training is no exception! The plan for the fall H volunteer training includes adult volunteers teaming up with youth leaders to learn about the new 4-H publication and project material delivery system. Each adult volunteer will be asked to bring at least one youth leader to the training with them. There will be activities that can be used by club leaders and officers at club meetings to help members and families quickly and easily access resources to learn about their projects. This past spring, a team of county youth coordinators and youth program specialists redesigned the project material delivery system to provide new learning adventures for youth, update resources and ways to learn about project areas. While the number of projects has been reduced, the types of learning activities available in each project has broadened and increased. 4-H youth program specialists and student interns have been working throughout the spring and summer to create hot sheets for each project area. The hot sheets are one page documents containing project goals; communication, leadership, citizenship, and exhibit ideas for all ages of youth; record keeping resources and educational resources, including website links for additional information. With the new system, 4-H members can download the hot sheets immediately from the Iowa 4-H website and begin exploring that project area of interest right away. Members without internet access can obtain the hot sheets from their county extension office or from their club leader. This fall there will be more information and a registration form for your club s team to attend the fall H Volunteer Training. From the Foundation... The Woodbury County 4-H Foundation would like to thank all of the clubs who made birdhouses for the silent auction held during the fair. Thank you also to Denise Knaack for donating the afghan and to the Marina Inn for donating a one-night stay in the Ambassador Suite and brunch for two at Kahill s. Thanks as well to the people who bid on the auction items. The total money raised was $1,210 with $510 going back out to the clubs who made the birdhouses. (The money raised from the afghan and Marina Inn suite went entirely to the Foundation.) Participating clubs can expect to receive their check after September 13. $510 went in the Fund the Fun fund. Details on how to apply for Fund the Fun funds coming soon.

4 Helpful Hints for a Successful year! Next year s Woodbury County Fair will be held August 3-7, It s not too early to start planning your goals and preparing for next year s fair. Here is some important information to help you get a good start on the new 4-H year! Attend Club Meetings If you missed a meeting you will be missing important information to help you throughout the 4-H year and for the Fair. Be a part of your club volunteer for committees or help put chairs away and attend activities. If you are an officer it s your responsibility to take that office seriously. Workshops Volunteers and staff work hard to have helpful and fun workshops. These workshops are scheduled throughout the year. Imagine how disappointed we are when only a few 4-H ers show interest or when we have to cancel workshops due to low interest. 4-H Scene Due dates and deadlines are never kept a secret. The due dates and deadlines can be found in the 4-H Scene. The 4-H Scene newsletter is sent to every 4-H family and is also available online. You and your family need to have a system that works for you as a reminder. Woodbury County Fair book Keep this year s fair book as a reference as you set your project goals for next year. The 2011 fair book will be out next May. The 2010 fair book can also be found online at the Woodbury County Fair website at: If you are interested in a project area, thoroughly read the rules and guidelines for that department.
