To the editor:
National 4-H week this year is October 5-11. The theme is Beyond Ready!
I was asked what I like the best about 4-H. My answer is that I get to make and show all kinds of creative crafts and other things. When we bring them to Achievement Days, the judges visit with us and I enjoy getting their feedback on how to make them better or how to achieve a better goal for next year.
Raising little chicks and showing them is a highlight. I also enjoy photography a lot. This year, one of my favorite art projects was to paint a dinosaur footprint stepping stone to give to my Aunt.
Choosing the paint colors and working on how I wanted it to look helped me deal with the grief I was going through at the time. Art is a wonderful outlet for dealing with emotions.
Are you ready to join us? See John or Jane in the 4-H office at the Nordby Exhibit Hall.
