Welcome to our Summer Coordinator Kelly!

Hello! My name is Kelly Lillyblad, and I am excited to be joining you as the Summer Coordinator for Isanti County 4-H!! I am an Isanti County 4-H alumni who participated in the following projects: horse, dog, cat, animal science, plants, and photography. I am glad to be back to my 4-H roots and had so much fun last year that besides coming back to the extension office for summer, I decided to volunteer with our Equestrians with Disabilities project and with the Gymkhana horse show. Outside of working 4-H, the rest of the year I am a Health Administrative Assistant with our local school district. Outside of working in the community, I enjoy time with my husband and kids, going to their sporting and 4-H events, spending time at our lake place, vegetable and flower gardening, canning, riding our side by side and pontoon.

This week we are featuring youth in their last year in 4-H. We asked them to share their favorite 4-H memory with us. Our next feature is Amber A.!

My favorite 4-H memory is getting to go to state with my miniature horse, Faith, while also getting to spend time with my friends at the State Miniature Horse Show. It was a very exciting and rewarding experience because it reflected the hard work, dedication, and preparation that I spent working with my miniature horse. One of the best parts of the experience was being able to share it with my friends. We spent time cheering each other on and making memories that I will never forget.

This week we are featuring youth in their last year in 4-H. We asked them to share their favorite 4-H memory with us. Our next feature is Alyssa V.!

I remember lots of enjoyable late nights playing cards with all of the goat 4-H'ers. We’d be waiting to close the barn down, and found there was nothing better than playing Skip-Bo to pass the time. The laughs we shared and the background noise of many goats trying to steal our snacks is definitely one of my favorite memories.

This week we are featuring youth in their last year in 4-H. We asked them to share their favorite 4-H memory with us. Our first feature is Konner K.!

My name's Konner K., and my favorite 4-H memory would have to be the North East Show, or as everyone called it, Brainerd. Every year, I counted down the days until we could finally go. When we arrived on Friday night, all of my friends were already there waiting for us. After getting the animals settled into their barns, we would spend hours playing Ghost in the Graveyard across the fairgrounds until our parents finally yelled at us to go to bed because “we have to show in the morning.”

Even after staying up late, we would wake up excited and ready to show. After the show, we would eat KFC together and figure out who was staying in whose hotel room that night. The best part was rushing to the water park with all of my friends and making memories I will never forget. Brainerd was always my favorite show because of all the fun memories and time spent with my friends.
