Club News for July 27

| Community Service, County Fair, Interview Judging, Parade

Dairy Bar Signup

As a club, we voted to volunteer at the Dairy Bar on Saturday, August 7 during the fair. Very few have signed up. Please visit the SignUpGenius and sign up to work a short shirt to support our club and the Junior Leader Club.

Decorating the Parade Float

We’re decorating the parade float on Friday night at 6:00 p.m. at Construction Supply House (806 North 2nd Street, Berthoud, CO) We have two floats to work on. If your record books are finished, bring them for signing.

The parade starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. I should know where the float will be tomorrow and will let you all know. Please wear a club shirt and remember your water bottles.

Parents are welcome to ride the float or many of us sit at 246 South Cleveland—look for the sign out front that reads FAFLC on the east side of the street. Don’t forget to bring your chairs.

Fair Entry Survey

The Fair Entry system used this year was new to Larimer County, and we want to hear your thoughts about it. Please fill out the survey and leave your comments. We’ll gather the information and pass it on to the Extension Office and The Ranch/Fair Board. Click here to go to the Fair Entry Survey.

Interview Judging/Project Check-in

When you go to your interview on Tuesday, please remember the 4-H Dress Code. Also, before you sit down, reach your hand out to shake the judge’s hand and be sure to introduce yourself. Most importantly, RELAX!

Since we are using the Fair Entry software system for projects this year, a pink card will be attached to each project when it is checked in. But we recommend attaching a label with your name and the project just in case the card gets separated while at the Fair.

If your project is made to hang up, be sure to have a method of hanging attached so it can be displayed.

Nice job with the parade floats, HCH members! Thank you to the Mann family for designing, building, and pulling the member float and Lacey and her Cloverbuds for doing a great job putting the Cloverbud float together! The float took the third place trophy for the 4-H and FFA category.

Items needed for the float:

  • Hand-held pinwheels for the kids to hold on the float.

Got Wagon Wheels?

| County Fair, Events, Parade

We are in search of Wagon Wheels! Do you have a pair of 48″ or 54″ wagon wheels we could borrow? They would be used for our club’s float in the Larimer County Fair Parade on Saturday, July 27. We are happy to pick them up and return them in the same condition. Please email if you have some you’re willing to lend to our club. Thank you!
