The 2015 Fayette County Hall of Fame re-cipient is Norma Kerr of West Union. Norma started 4-H as a Clayton County member in the Garnavillo Farmerettes club. Due to her family moving, she selected not to continue with 4-H as a youth. In 1971, Norma be-came one of the leaders of the Clermont Country Cousins club, meeting in the Cler-mont area. She continued as a leader for the next 15 years ending her career in 1986. From 1978-1988, Norma served as the

Fayette County 4-H Program Aide, (similar to today’s job of County Youth Coordinator) with Fayette County Extension. Norma and her late husband Don raised 3 children. Daughters, Dean-na and Barbara were 9 year 4-H members of the Clermont Country Cousins while son David was a 9 year member of the Clermont Com-ets. All three children were involved in 4-H, with their highlight being showing registered Holsteins. Judging communications, clothing, foods, home improvement and visu-al arts over the years, and still to this day, a person will see Norma judging at county fairs in Northeast Iowa which has become a favorite spring and summer activity of Norma’s. While judging, she enjoys visit-ing with the youth, seeing their faces light up as she announces their ribbon placing and watching the youth progress year to year as they challenge themselves, experiencing larger and more challenging pro-jects. 4-H has always been a big part of the Kerr family as there has been several generations involved. Norma continues to judge and is a strong supporter of 4-H events held in Fayette and neighboring counties at-tending club and county wide fundraisers. Norma was honored at the 2015 Iowa State Fair on Sunday, August 23rd where she received her award.

Dear Clover Kids,

It’s almost September and we will start to see colors

changing along the tree lines. A few months back while

attending a “Grow Up Wild” training the following activity

was shared so I encourage parents to create a “Color

Coded Nature Walk and Hunt” for their children to com-

plete as they enjoy the great outdoors. First off, par-

ents must paint the inside of an egg carton various colors,

using craft or tempra paint. Let dry. Hand out to your

children and explain that you would like for them to find

things in nature that matches the colors inside the car-

ton. Give them a designated amount of time to find the

objects and call the children back together to share what

was found. Although some items of all the colors may not

be found, use words to encourage the children to keep

looking or explain to them not all colors may be found at

this time of the year. What a fun outdoor activity that

not only is good in the fall but at different times of the

year. Keep track how many items were found and the

season in which they were found. This is an activity that

can be recycled over and over for years to come. Need

egg cartons, contact Michele.

An example of what the egg carton will look like. Note this can

be made using an ordinary egg carton that holds a dozen eggs.

Just won’t have as many colors.

Cloverly, Michele

All kids like Oobleck so here is an easy recipe on how to make

your own. This recipe was found at http://

littlebinsforlittlehands.com/apple-oobleck-science-experiment-

made-apple-sauce/ and will be used throughout the upcoming 4-H

year at afterschool programs throughout Fayette County

Apple Oobleck

Supplies Needed:

apple sauce

cornstarch

cinnamon

bowl and spoon for mixing

cookie tray or pie plate

Measure roughly 1 cup of cornstarch and a 1/2 cup of applesauce

into a bowl. Add a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and mix! Using

hands transfer mixed oobleck to a pie plate. Adding extra corn-

starch will keep oobleck a bit firmer, making it a bit less slimy.

Congratulations on the great display of exhibits in the

Clover Kids booth at the Fayette County Fair and also

to those who participated in the clothing, communica-

tion, foods fair, pet/small animal and bucket bottle

judging. I look forward to watching each of you grow

as we move into a new 4-H year and remind you that

now is the time to invite your friends to join 4-H as

the new year is fast approaching and begins October 1.
