The Carefree 4-H Club in Ogle County held its August meeting at the Ogle County Farm Bureau in Oregon. Discussion topics included reflecting on their time at the Ogle County 4-H Fair. Members who participated in the Ogle County 4-H Fair had fun showcasing their general projects and being part of the livestock shows. The club discussed having a Thanksgiving Food Drive and other ideas for a community service project.
The club will participate in the Autumn On parade this October in Oregon. At their November meeting, the club will hold officer elections for their members. Also coming up is Achievement Day, which is the 4-H awards program where members can win prizes for their efforts.
4-H is an informal youth education program of University of Illinois Extension. For more information or to get involved with the program, contact the Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191 or visit us online at https://extension.illinois.edu/bdo. This is the best time of the year to join!
