Kudos to 4-H

Posted Sunday, July 27, 2008, at 5:12 PM

Being the "New Kid on the Block" this is my first fair in Plymouth County, and it was an experience I won't forget.

Growing up I was a 4-H'er myself. I remember one year my brownies earned a purple ribbon, which back then was top prize.

But I didn't take 4-H and competing at the fair nearly as seriously as the youth here do.

I mean look at they and their families dedication... it's awesome.

We always talk about teenagers and children that do bad things, but what about kids like these?

From rabbits to horses to photographs, they do it all. We can all learn from them. So to all you 4-H exhibitors out there...

Way to go!

And as you prepare, remember, it will be just as much fun next year.

After all, isn't the Plymouth County Fair the "Five Best Days of Summer."

Grammar and punctuation: aren't those things important anymore?

I still consider my hometown to be Humboldt, S.D. but the longer I'm here in Le Mars the more I like it. I'm not expert on life by far, but in my blogs you'll find my thoughts on life's "lessons." Living and working in different states means I have had the opportunity to look at the way different types of people take on our ever-changing world. In my blog I'll be sharing with you some of the things I've learned along the way or observed. And of course you'll get a taste of the topics I'm passionate about like my nephews, friends and family. As always, I appreciate your questions and comments.
