ROSS COUNTY EXTENSION 4-H HOTLINE Important dates, deadlines, and details SEPT-OCT / 2019 Dear Ross County 4-H Families, Whew! I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year was a straight sprint. As with any fair there were great moments and not so great moments. Some things went well and then there are things we will work to improve. But, along the way our youth were learning and developing life skills. I would even say the adults did too! It takes a tremendous amount of work and dedication to make a fair happen. Thank you to all the 4-H volunteers, parents, grandparents, fair board members, buyers, and people that just step up to make it happen. In the quiet times, ask your kids about the favorite things and see it through their eyes. As we move forward, celebrate the things you did well and make a list of where you want to regroup and work to be better. Focus on some of the moments where people stretched outside of their comfort zones and grew and where they might actually need more coaching to be successful. Next year is rapidly approaching and we are already getting ready! **To gear up we need every club to submit their club contact info and meeting info on the online form so we can keep track of what clubs are active in the county and better connect new members. We are regularly contacted by families wanting to get involved in 4-H and we will need to know where to place new 4-H families. To submit contact info and meeting info data, please click: http:// go.osu.edu/4hclub2020. Please complete by 10/1/2019. Best wishes on a fun and safe fall!
