We had a wonderful 4-H meeting yesterday! A big shoutout to Zantha, who delivered an amazing presentation about cattle and their incredible contributions to our everyday lives. Many people don't realize just how many everyday items contain beef byproducts beyond just meat and dairy she did a fantastic job shedding light on these hidden connections!

​To make the day even more special, we held our club officer elections, and Zantha was elected as our new Vice President!

​Zantha is such a bright young lady and a prime example of what 4-H and youth leadership programs are all about. Watching her inspire others and step into leadership shows how these programs help youth reach their goals today and prepare them for bright futures ahead.

We had a very busy fair month! Now that the fair is wrapped up and we’ve had a chance to celebrate how well all of our 4-H members did, we’re already looking ahead and thinking about next year’s goals and projects!

One project we didn’t get a chance to share during the busy fair season was Eden’s chicken presentation.
Eden loves chickens and put together a wonderful presentation sharing information about different breeds, where they originated, and the average number of eggs each breed can produce.

One of the best things about 4-H is that the work our members do throughout the year builds knowledge and skills that can help them when fair time comes around. Presentations, demonstrations, research, and hands-on experiences all help our kids grow in confidence and prepare for their projects.

We’re so proud of Eden and all of our 4-H members for the time, effort, and heart they put into their projects this year!

And now… on to next year! 😊

Shoutout to one of our amazing 4-H members, Savanna! 🎨
​At our last meeting, Savanna gave an incredible presentation all about her passion for Art. She was so detailed, walking us through how she finds inspiration, her start-to-finish process, typical timelines, and how unique every single piece is.
​One of my favorite things about these presentations is how they highlight hobbies or interests that other kids might not have tried or been exposed to yet. It’s the perfect way to ignite curiosity and inspire others to try something new!
​Thank you so much, Savanna, for sharing your talent and passion with us! 🌟

So proud of Daniel! 🏹 For his latest 4-H project, he dove deep into a topic that truly fascinates him: the history of bows. He was so excited to share that passion and energy with everyone!
​One of the best parts of 4-H is how it molds and fosters goals, turning curiosity into action. It’s incredibly exciting to watch these kids discover what sparks their interest, run with it, and then teach their peers. Way to go, Dan!

Our community could use your help.

This week, local 4-H member Mykah Meshew was seriously injured in a horse accident and suffered a severe liver laceration. After spending time at Children’s Hospital, she is now home recovering, but she faces a long road ahead and will be on strict activity restrictions until at least July 21.

As Mykah focuses on healing, her family is dealing with lost wages, travel expenses, and other unexpected costs associated with her recovery.

If you’re able, please consider donating to help support Mykah and her family during this difficult time. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world.

For those who would prefer to give in another way, monetary donations, gift cards and other forms of support can also be dropped off at the La Plata County Extension Office for the family.

Thank you for helping us surround this sweet girl and her family with love and support. ❤️

On Tuesday, one of our local 4-H members, Mykah Meshew, was involved in a serious horse a… Amber Bailey needs your support for Support Mykah Meshew’s Recovery

Today our 4-H group had the honor of placing flags on the graves of veterans at Pine Valley Cemetery in Bayfield for Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is so much more than just a 3-day weekend. It is a time to remember and honor the men and women who gave everything for our country and the freedoms we enjoy every day. Their sacrifice should never be forgotten.
We are incredibly proud of our 4-H members and the way they continue to serve our community in their own unique ways. Whether through acts of service, leadership, kindness, or hard work, these kids continually show what it means to give back and be involved in something bigger than themselves.

We also want to give a special thank you to one of our 4-H members who traveled from Pagosa Springs to come participate with us today. We love seeing youth come together from different communities to honor and remember those who served.
Thank you to all of our members, families, and veterans. ❤️🤍💙

In small towns, people who quietly give their time and hearts to others are what keep communities going, and we are so thankful for Amber.
Thank you for all the time, hard work, patience, and care you pour into our 4H group. From helping our kids learn new things, to encouraging them, supporting families, and always being willing to step in where needed — it truly means more than words can say.
We know being a leader takes a lot of time and sacrifice behind the scenes, and we just want you to know it does not go unnoticed. Our kids and community are better because of people like you. Thank you for everything you do for our 4H family, Amber. 💚

Hara presented a project to the group where she explained the process of sanding and staining, along with the different techniques involved. Her project board included sample pieces that clearly demonstrated the differences, making the information easy to understand and apply. This kind of knowledge is incredibly valuable for anyone interested in refinishing or upcycling furniture in the future. Thank you, Hara, for generously sharing your skills and insight with the group!
