Spring is FINALLY here and I hope you have had the opportunity
to enjoy the beautiful weather! Rainy spring days can make it
tough to get our kids outdoors, but rain boots and a raincoat can
open the door to lots of exploration. Adults… don’t forget to join in
on the puddle jumping! Rainy afternoons are also good ones for
working on 4-H projects and planning gardens and summer ad-
ventures.
With fair right around the corner, we want to give a quick reminder
to continue your work on record books and record keeping as you
continue working and learning. I know many of you have been
very busy working on your project work and I challenge you eve-
ryday to continue to reach for your goal on your focused projects.
As always, if you need ANY project resources, please contact our
office. We have resources available right here as well as many re-
sourceful adults with a lot of passion, knowledge and hands on
learning for all!
