In the afternoon, Camie Johnson with Cam's Creations shared her decorating expertise. Thank you Camie for spending your afternoon with 13 youth. Look how creative and cute their cupcakes look! 🧁

On May 27, we hosted our Livestock Clinic. ☺️Youth had the chance to learn about showing rabbits, poultry, swine, beef, sheep, goats, and carcass education. This year, we had a few of our Jr. Leaders teach the sessions. Thank you to Julia Nicholson, Kendall Sellman, Skyler Edelman, and Sadie Chesley. Lastly, our summer intern, Alexa Tollman taught poultry and sheep. You all did an amazing job educating other youth! Thank you for stepping up.
