Ste. Genevieve County Missouri 4-H

08/02/2026

4-H'ers, thank you notes aren't hard to write, and they mean a lot to their recipients! If you haven't written one yet to those who supported you at your county fair, why not get it done this weekend so that you can cross it off of your "to-do" list.

Remember that people don't HAVE to support you and your fair - they do it because they believe in you and in the 4-H program.

And parents, let your child write the note! Fair supporters don't care if the handwriting is messy, or if a word is misspelled! It's much more meaningful if your child writes it him or herself.

So use those 4 Hs! Use your Head to think of a nice note, your Hands to write it, your Heart to make it meaningful, and your Health will be better for having gotten it done!
