TRANSCRIPT
The decade is coming to a close!
That statement seems so strange. But 2020 is nearly here. What does that mean for our 4-H family, another year of success stories!
I love having the opportunity to serve this community and appreciate all of the families that make me feel a part of their family! I wish you all a blessed holiday season!
Here are a few highlights for this month’s Scoop:
- Beef Weigh-In
- Scholarships
- Fair Logo Design Contest
- Swim/Skate
- State Fair Updates
- And more!
Merry Christmas :)

It’s almost here!!!
January 4, 2020 marks the day for our Sioux
County Market Beef Weigh-In.
Location: Bar-K Cattle Confinement, West of Sioux
Center on B40 (aka Hardees road)
When: 8:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m.
Reminders: If you are showing your animals at the
Iowa State Fair they will need to be retinal
scanned. Also, please be sure to enroll in
4HOnline before you arrive so we can enter your
animals and approve them. This way there is less
work when you go home!
T-Shirt Sizes—
Just a suggestion...
Be sure to think about how big the exhibitor will be
Summer of 2020!
Is your almost 10 year old really going to be able to
wear a youth medium? If you’ve already enrolled and
think you need to change your size, you can go back
in and make that change to your enrollment.
Hot Iowa Summers + a Tight Shirt = Uncomfortable 4-H’er
We are getting there, but still more to go!
Be sure to ENROLL today! Enroll HERE
And Speaking of Enrollment...
We are mixing it up again!
Breathe in… Breathe Out… Change is good or at least worth a try!
The dates for the 2020 Sioux County Youth Fair will be July 13-17. The
schedule is not 100% set, but the jist is: July 13th is Static Judging and

Iowa 4-H Camera Corps is a talented group of youth photographers working together to make beautiful, powerful, and creative photographs of communities from across of the state of Iowa. It is a unique opportunity to practice your photography skills and receive public recognition and juror feedback on your work.
Each month, a photography theme is provided with a different focus. Professional evaluators will give individual feedback to each photographer after they submit their monthly photograph, and then each photograph will be exhibited digitally on the Iowa 4-H Facebook page where voting will be open to the public.
More information & Sign up HERE
The top ten Juror's Choice and top ten People’s Choice photographs will be printed, framed, and shown at statewide gallery exhibitions every month.
New for this year we are adding a certificate program where youth photographers will level up from newbie to master photographers as they complete certain tasks and challenges.
All youth from all counties are welcome to join Iowa 4-H Camera Corps. We want to help you
become the best photographers you can be!
