April and May were incredibly busy months for 4-H—and looking back, we hosted so many great events!
Over the past couple of months, here's a list of our local 4-H accomplishments:
• Tack Sale
• Chicken Talk
• TSC Educational Booths
• Veterinary Education Day
• Beef Clinic & Showcase
• Small Animal Clinic & Show
• Lamb & Goat Clinic & Showcase
• Horse Ranch Riding Clinic & Show

We are so grateful for the amazing volunteers, partners, and families who help make these opportunities possible. Your time, energy, and passion are what make these experiences meaningful for our youth!
And that list doesn’t even include all the club meetings, council, committee, and association meetings happening behind the scenes to keep everything moving forward.
Thank you for being part of such a strong and supportive 4-H community—we couldn’t do it without you!

A big thank you again to Michigan Junior Livestock Society who partnered with 4-H to make this happen for our Northern Michigan youth! This weekend, we had the opportunity to host another hands-on clinic and showcase show in Alpena for lambs and goats.
We were lucky to have beautiful weather, a fantastic turnout, and an incredible clinician who shared a wealth of knowledge with our participants. It was great to see so many youth and families engaged, learning, and growing together.
