🍀 It’s time to grow something BIG for local 4-H! 🍀

The Tractor Supply Paper Clover fundraiser is coming up, and every Paper Clover purchased helps support 4-H youth and programs right here in our community! 💚

When you shop at Tractor Supply, look for the 4-H Paper Clover and consider adding one to your purchase. Your $1 donation may seem small, but together, our community can make a BIG difference for local youth.
Your support helps 4-H youth learn by doing, build leadership skills, explore new interests, and become Beyond Ready for their futures.

🍀 Shop. Donate. Support 4-H.

Thank you for helping us grow opportunities for Douglas County 4-H youth!

A big THANK YOU to Cascade Community Credit Union for their continued support and belief in our 4-H Program!

We’re offering a $50 bonus to any 4-H or FFA child who deposits their Rotary Livestock Auction check with Cascade Community Credit Union. 💚
This bonus is available to both current members and new through November 15th. Whether they choose to save it, put it toward next year’s project, or use it for something they’ve been working toward, we wanted to find a way to support the youth of Douglas County.
Learn about the details at any CCCU branch.

🍀 NATIONAL 4-H WEEK: FRIDAY 🍀

Let’s finish the week with a little 4-H nostalgia! 💚

Complete this sentence:

“4-H taught me ________.”

Maybe it taught you how to:

🐴 Care for an animal
🎤 Speak in front of a crowd
🏆 Handle winning — or losing
🤝 Work as a team
💪 Stick with something when it gets hard
⭐ Lead others
🌱 Try something completely new

Or maybe it taught you something you never expected.

4-H members, parents, volunteers, and alumni — we want to hear yours!

Drop your answer in the comments. 👇🍀

Because sometimes the most important things we learn in 4-H aren't written on a project record.

🍀 GOOD DAY THURSDAY! 🍀
October 8 | National 4-H Week

Today, we’re celebrating the GOOD that 4-H brings to our community! 💚

4-H is more than projects, meetings, and fair week. It’s about giving young people opportunities to:

🌱 Discover what they’re capable of
🐴 Explore their interests and try something new
🤝 Build friendships and connections
⭐ Practice leadership and responsibility
🧠 Develop skills they’ll use for a lifetime

During National 4-H Week, we’re celebrating the volunteers, families, community partners, and—most importantly—the young people who make 4-H what it is.

Good things grow in 4-H. 🍀

Tell us in the comments: What GOOD has 4-H brought into your life? 💚

🍀 NATIONAL 4-H WEEK: TUESDAY 🍀

4-H is more than just… 👀

🐴 Horses
🐄 Cows
🐑 Sheep
🐶 Dogs
🌱 Gardening
🍪 Baking
🎨 Arts & Crafts

Those are the PROJECTS.

But what happens along the way? ⬇️

✨ Confidence
🤝 Friendships
🧠 Problem-solving
🎤 Communication
⭐ Leadership
💪 Responsibility
🌎 Experiences that go beyond the project

The project might get them through the door. The skills they build in 4-H help them walk through life.

What did YOU learn in 4-H that had nothing to do with your project? 🍀
