It may be the first Monday of summer vacation, but we're not taking a break from sharing all the great 4-H stories that we've collected this year. We want you to meet Easton of Campbellton Livestock 4-H Club. He made some great memories last year showing his bucket calf at the fair. Check out his story below.

"I showed my bottle calf, Midnight, at the Washington Fair. I liked feeding him every morning before school and every night after dinner. I liked showing at the fair with my friends. My neighbors helped me learn how to show Midnight, and I practiced with him a lot. I liked answering the judge's questions and walking around the arena. Our 4-H meetings were also fun! I had a great first year of 4-H!"

It sounds like you had a great first year, Easton! Raising a bucket calf is a lot of hard work. It's so great that your neighbors were able to help you learn all about showing Midnight, too! We can't wait to see you at the fair this summer!

It's Monday once again and time to spread a little 4-H cheer! Meet, Sadie, a 5th year member of Jeffriesburg 4-H Club. She's a creative kid who enjoys cake decorating.

"I have loved the last few years that I have been in 4-H. There are so many activities you can do. My personal favorite activity is cake decorating. I made an Easter bunny cake for Easter. It's our traditional cake we make every year. I also made my birthday cake this year with cats on it. We just did a beach themed cake. It was fun to learn how to make the blue icing and decorate it ourselves. Karen is the best teacher! She always knows when we need help. My least favorite part is that we don't get to lick the icing off our fingers. But other than that, I love 4-H!"

Thank you, Sadie, for sharing what you love about 4-H! We're happy to hear that you are making cakes on your own at home as well. Keep up the good work!

Happy Monday morning to all! It's time to share another great 4-H story. This week, our featured 4-H member is Luke of Campbellton Livestock 4-H Club. Luke is a 7th year member who enjoys showing hogs at the fair and is passionate about agriculture.

"This year in 4-H was a great experience for me. I focused on my hog project and also got to take part in the ag tour, which taught me different aspects of farming and agriculture. Our leaders helped us along the way and made sure we stayed on track, which I really appreciated. I also had a lot of fun hanging out with friends and meeting new people through 4-H. Overall, it was an awesome year, and I'm excited to keep learning and growing in the program."

Thank you, Luke, for sharing your 4-H story with us. We're glad that you are taking part in extra opportunities that are available to learn about farming and agriculture! Keep up the good work!
