A heartfelt thank you to Sara Kanuch and the Bernadotte 4-H Club for creating and donating fleece blankets to our Oncology Department.

Alongside the beautiful quilts provided by the Prairie Piecemakers Quilters Guild, these handmade gifts bring comfort and warmth to local oncology patients receiving infusion treatments.

We are grateful for the generosity and compassion of these community partners.

We’re so excited to see Katelyn representing Nicollet County 4-H!

She was featured in WCCO’s story about 4-H members and their experiences at the Minnesota State Fair. It’s pretty special to see the hard work, time, and dedication our 4-H’ers put in throughout the year recognized like this.
