Hello from the Extension Office!

With school starting, the county fair just around the corner, and all 4-H project judging completed, we can start to look back on what we were able to accomplish this 4-H year in Wyandot County. Whether you were one of the dozens of county youth that took a project to state fair (many of you took home top honors!), one of the 130+ campers & counselors that came to Kelleys Island for 4-H Camp, or you simply took time to try something new with 4-H, you have made this summer something special and worthwhile for you and all those around you.

The project books are graded, the outstanding interviews have been decided, the Skillathon scores have been tallied, and now many of you will have the opportunity to show off your hard work and awards along with your peers at the Wyandot County Fair. Whether you’re showing off your animals in an arena or displaying your projects in a fair booth, we are all excited to see your efforts on full display with the rest of your friends and your clubs.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the fair!

Sincerely,

Andrea Cole 419-294-4931—Office 4-H Youth Development Educator cole.616@osu.edu
