A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported the Minidoka County 4-H Teen Association’s 23rd Annual Get Your Goat yesterday! 🍀🐐

Our teens had a great day traveling around the county delivering goats and spreading lots of laughs and smiles along the way. While we didn’t get pictures of everyone, we want all of the individuals, businesses, donors, and supporters to know how much we appreciate you!

Your support helps provide leadership opportunities, conferences, activities, and experiences for our 4-H teens, including their upcoming State Exchange trip to Pennsylvania this June. Thank you for supporting our youth and investing in their future! 🍀💚

Last night, we celebrated an incredible group of Minidoka County 4-H seniors who are truly for whatever comes next! 💚

These young leaders have spent years learning, growing, serving their communities, and making a difference through 4-H. As they head into new adventures after graduation, we couldn’t be more proud of all they’ve accomplished and the impact they’ll continue to make.

Congratulations to all of our graduating seniors — your Minidoka County 4-H family is cheering you on! 🎓
