FROM THE DESK OF THE COUNTY YOUTH COORDINATOR

The Central Iowa Fair has come and gone! On behalf of the Marshall County Extension Office, I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of our parents, volunteers, club leaders, superintendents, and most importantly, our 4-H members for "unwrapping the fun" and making this fair a success. Results for all Central Iowa Fair exhibits can be found at the link in the calendar of events section.

This issue of the Clover Courier highlights our Iowa State Fair Communications, Awardrobe, Static, and LIvestock exhibitors. A full schedule of Iowa State Fair events and activities is linked in the calendar of events section.

A reminder that enrollment for the 2022-2023 4-H year will open in early September. Everyone is required to re-register each year in the 4-HOnline 2.0 system in order to participate in 4-H club activities.

I hope you all enjoy your last few weeks of summer before the new school year begins. We can't wait to see you back for the 2022-2023 4-H year!
