FOUNDATION SILENT AUCTION AT FAIR! The Delaware County 4-H Foundation’s annual silent auction raised $987.50 at the 2019 Delaware County Fair. Generous donations
for the auction were made by the following: Norm and July Voelker Family, Buffalo Belles & Boys 4-H Club, Milo Livestock 4-H Club,
Sara Kruse Family, Kendra Lux, Jennifer Zumbach Family, Hoptown Hurricanes 4-H Club (Kim Less), Bear Creek Levis-N-Lace 4-H

afternoon of each day of the fair.

Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame The Delaware County 4-H
Youth Committee has
selected Steve Schwietert
for the 2019 Iowa 4-H
Hall of Fame . The induc-
tion ceremony will be held
on Sunday, August 18th
in the 4-H Exhibit Building
at the Iowa State Fair.
The Delaware County 4-H program has been a part of
Steve Schwietert’s life for many years, beginning as a
4-Her and continuing as a 4-H volunteer. Throughout
his 4-H career he exhibited registered Ayrshire dairy
at the Delaware County Fair and was also elected to
the Delaware County 4-H Youth Council and was a
member of the county Dairy Judging Team that repre-
sented Iowa at the national competition in 1981. Over
the years Steve has been a 4-H leader, first for the
Colesburg Livestock and later the Honey Creek Help-
ers, spent many years as a superintendent of the
Delaware County Fair 4-H & FFA Dairy Show, and for
the past 25 plus years has been serving on the Dela-
ware County Youth Committee. He is the extremely
proud father of three daughters Jill, Tara, and Ali who
were also nine year 4-H members and have contin-
ued being part of the organization as adults. Steve
and his wife Jill enjoy watching their grandkids begin
their 4-H journey as 4-H is one of the few organiza-
tions that multiple generations of one family can be
actively involved all at that same time.

COUNTY RECORDKEEPING AWARDS County awards are available to junior members for outstanding recordkeeping skills and to intermediate and senior members for project work.
To apply for these awards, fill out the front side of the awards application and include it inside the front cover of your recordbook before turning it in to your club leader. The club leader will complete the back before bringing the recordbook into the office by October 4. Fill out and attach the "Awards Consideration" form (on the bottom of this page) to the outside front cover of your record. Extra forms are available at the Extension Office.
These two sheets are required only if you apply for county awards.
For project awards, you must have records for at least two years including the current year because the committee needs to see growth in that project area. Project awards can be received only once as an intermediate and once as a senior. Juniors (4-6 graders) are encouraged to apply for special Junior Recordkeeping Awards but they are not eligible to apply for project awards.
4-H RECORD BOOKS DUE TO LEADERS BY SEPTEMBER 20!
4-H recordkeeping teaches the important life skill of keeping accurate records. Recordkeeping is an on-going process that doesn’t end when the 4-H year ends. 4-H recordkeeping should reflect the member’s
goals, accomplishments, and future plans. Forms are available online or at the Extension Office. If you have any questions on rec-
ord keeping please contact Kenzie!
4-Her’s are encouraged to develop a system that includes: Records for one or more projects, Completion of Yearly Summary, and
Self evaluation.
Tabs can help you find what you’re looking for quickly. Arrange your records with the most current material in the front. One way to
arrange could be:
1. Expected Standards for Delaware County 4-H program
2. 4-H Yearly Summary
3. General clippings and photographs
4. Project A
• Current Year Project record
• Current Year Project clippings and photographs
• Previous Year’s Project record/worksheets
• Previous Year’s Project clippings and photographs
5. Project B, C, D, etc. Arrange the same as Project A
6. Put records of non-current projects in the back of your record.

toward 4-H, participation in the 4-H club, relationships with other members, etc.) 3. Are there any special or unusual situations the award selection committee should be aware of pertaining
to this member or this program? Signed___________________________________________________________ Date______________
