November was a time to celebrate the accomplishments of our club members and leaders over the past 4-H year at the Larimer County 4-H Achievement Night and our November club meeting. So much work and time went into making 2023 a success and we’re so proud of your efforts!
At the county fair, our club had 47 Champions and 25 Reserve Champions for a total of 72! That’s AMAZING! Of those, 18 went on to win Overall Grand Champion or Overall Reserve Grand Champion. And 13 members received the Best Record Book award.
At the Colorado State Fair, our club had 42 entries and 24 received either a Reserve Champion or a Champion and of those, 10 went on to win Overall Grand Champion or Overall Reserve Grand Champion. INCREDIBLE!
At the state level, Beau Reuhlen won Reserve Champion and Caden Powell won Champion at Rocket Fly Day. Avery Kemper took first place in the state digital photo contest.
At the state Shooting Sports competition, we had club members in the top 10 as follows: Bohdan Leppert and Paisley Dennis in Air Pistol; Tori Freeland in Air Rifle: Offhand and Paisley Dennis in Air Rifle: Utility; Willow Cameron, Genesis Rivera, Gideon Rivera, and Walker Cameron in Archery; Walker Cameron in Muzzleloading; and Walker Cameron in all 4 classes of .22 Rifle.
Our club received a Gold certificate for having 75%+ of our members complete the year, which was 80% to be exact.
We passed out completion certificates to all of the members who completed their 4-H year, and our leaders as well.

A big congratulations to everyone in the club who completed their projects this year! All of your hard work has paid off. It is hard to believe the 4-H year is over.
On Monday, September 11, our usual meeting night, we will meet at Fairgrounds Park off of Railroad Avenue in Loveland for an end-of-the-year potluck picnic. Start time is 6:00 p.m. Please bring a dish or two to share. The club will provide sloppy joes, the paper goods, lemonade, and water. For members enrolled in livestock including dog and poultry, please bring your finished record books at this time.
The Larimer County 4-H Open House will be on Thursday, October 5 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. in the McKee Building’s Exhibit Hall. Our club will have a table, and we need a few families who would be willing to talk about our club and 4-H in general to help get the public interested in 4-H. Yes, this is a community service to get you started on next year!
This Wednesday, September 6 is the day to pick up your state fair projects. Come to the Fort Collins room in the McKee Building between 7:30–10:00 a.m. If you are not able to make it during this time, please let me know and I will pick your project up for you. For those who sent a project to state fair for the first time, sorry, but state fair does not pay premiums.
Tune in for the Colorado State Fair Livestock Sale on Tuesday, August 29 beginning at 3:30 p.m.
