Mary said anyone in the club is invited to come out and bring their animals and have a workday there as well!! So, other project leaders if you want to havesomething at the same time, let your kids know and come ahead!! We are going to stop at Mary's and weigh the steers, then head up the road to do workday at Grandmas (end of their lane). Also, all club members are invited to come without animals if they want just for the barbeque. It'll be around 11:00 or so. Mary is providing hotdogs and chips. Each of you need to bring a salad or dessert and your drinks!Call Mary or me if you have questions. I usually have my cell, 250-4917.Hope to see you there!!

Cemetary Clean Up


After the first try to clean up at the Cemetary was rained out, it was rescheduled for May 17. Great Job to all who made it, if you were unable to attend please talk to Mary about an alternate plan, since community service is a club requirement to show at fair.
(thanks to Steph for the photo's and 'who let Tyler have fire?')

RAIN! Cemetary Clean Up Postponed!

Wonderful Idaho Weather! At least the weather for the trailride was nice, but didn't hold out for the cemetary clean up...so stay tuned...we'll get the clean-up rescheduled and let everyone know...I guess while it's raining you can stay inside and work on your demonstrations...they are just a couple weeks away...Looking for the funniest demo title to post on the website.

Swine Weigh-In


Cheylah's Pig Wilbur (79#'s of squealing furry) giving Tyler a run for his Money!


It sounds like everyone made weight this year...the stressed out 4-H moms can start worrying about the final weigh in now. I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Tyler Blackstock, what an amazing young man...he could be seen helping everyone out and stuck around to help Jordan and Cheylah get their pigs in the chute. He goes out of his way to help out and is an awsome role model for our kids! He even got ruffed up quite a bit by Cheylahs pig, he gladly punched the ear tag in him for her, and was all smiles afterwards.
