This year’s 4-H Summer Bash on June 1, 2012 was a success!
Over 40 people attended the event, making this year’s bash the most successful
and popular yet. 4-H’ers enjoyed delicious hamburgers, hotdogs, and other side
dishes, kicking off the beginning of summer with a pot-luck picnic.
4-H’ers from Average Joe’s, County Council, Hare Raisin’
Homesteaders, J.D. Cooking Club, Ochs Garden Club, and other clubs attended the
bash. Colleen McNelis and Keri Hannukainen, both graduating seniors, gave their
farewell speeches during the County Council elections. Jared McNelis led Minute
to Win It, which created a fun and light-hearted atmosphere. A curious
alligator even showed up during the bash along the edge of the lake shore to
help us celebrate.

are:
·
President: Lacey Steele (Hare Raisin’
Homesteaders)

Vice-President: Emily Vines (Hare Raisin’
