We will be having a clothing construction workshop this Saturday, April 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Timnath/Laporte rooms of the McKee 4-H Building.
We will be sewing a pillowcase. You will need 1 yard of material (make sure it is at least 50% cotton) and thread to match. You will also need a sewing machine, or let me know if you need one and Cari can bring one from the extension office. Don’t forget a bobbin for your machine! You can bring your box of basic sewing items with you, too. We will have rotary cutters, mats, and irons for you to use.
You are always welcome to bring your own project if you do not want to sew a pillowcase and we can help as needed.
Let me know if you have any questions. Please RSVP to Hanna at pigs022002@yahoo.com and let her know if you are planning to be there.
The next Cake Decorating workshop will be held on Monday, April 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall at the McKee 4-H Building.

Updated May 14, 2024:
Swine camp is approaching on June 7th & 8th.
Lucas Stalcup will be our clinician. Lucas grew up on a diversified farm in Montana where his family started raising show pigs in the late 1990s to meet a specific need in their community. This early experience sparked a lasting enthusiasm for the industry. This motivated Lucas to pursue a career in livestock judging and academia at Casper College and the University of Wyoming.
The Stalcup family operates approximately 30 sows primarily showcasing crossbred swine. Their main market is the Rocky Mountain region where they have enjoyed considerable success both locally and nationally over the years. They make it a priority to share their knowledge and support the young exhibitors they have the privilege to work with.
If you have not registered for this event, I would highly encourage you to do so.
The Hog Camp on June 7–8, 2024 is an opportunity for all levels of youth to get more hands-on experience and build on management styles/techniques.
Registration is REQUIRED. The cost is $100 per camper.
The Sheep and Goat Camp on June 5–6, 2024 is an opportunity for all levels of youth to get more hands-on experience and build on management styles/techniques.
