  Where did the summer go?

Summer School, Eagle Days, vacations, Eagle Pool, BBQ's, VBS, skinned knees, sunburns, mosquito bites and lightening bugs.  Just a few things that we did this summer.  Now it seems like I am trying to pack as much as I can in the last few days!  Where did it go?

I ask myself that every year.  I look forward to summer and spending time with my kids.  Yes, even when they are fighting.  They are growing up so quickly.  Each year brings them closer to adulthood.  As my oldest turned 13 this summer, I looked at her and her friends and saw young adults.  I am getting a knot in my throat just typing about it!  Even though I enjoy each stage my children go through, I can't help but to mourn the ones that have passed.

Thank you, to my children for a great summer!  I will treasure it as I do each memory I have as you grow up.

4-H youth and their friends continued to Discover 4-H – Discover You this summer with Cass County 4-H events and workshops in July. Diane Mayfield, Cass County Extension Associate, continued to work with adults and youth 4-H Junior Leaders to plan and implement these opportunities. Volunteers play a vital role in the 4-H Youth Development Program and we encourage you to Get Involved Today!! by contacting the Cass County Extension office at 267-2205 or dmayfield1@unl.edu.

Cass County 4-Hers with the help of adult and youth volunteers celebrate 4-H yearly by working on Care & Share projects throughout the year to be displayed at the county fair and to be donated to others at the end of the fair. The goal for 2010 is 108 quilts/kwiltz to celebrate 108 years of 4-H along with other projects. A Community Service Workshop Day was held, July 8, to sew Quilts of Valor blocks for the war wounded and Colene Shrader Memorial Kidz ForKwiltz for donation; fill layered soup jars for emergency services; sew Tote Bags for the Omaha Child Saving Institute; and sew Conquer Cancer pillowcases for hospitalized youth. The Southern Cass Sowers 4-H Club sewed kennel mats for the Plattsmouth Animal Shelter and Dachshund Rescue, July 22. Other Care & Share projects for donation include Dressed Bears, Care & Share Baskets/Filled School Bags, Fleece Hats, Mittens, Scarves, Operation Military Kids Hero Packs, and a Pop Tab Collection for the Ronald McDonald House.

Nebraska 4-H is partnering with the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha to do field studies to see if Nebraska amphibians have been affected by environmental factors causing a worldwide crisis among amphibians. Cass County 4-Hers and friends braved a rainy morning, July 12, at Platte River State Park to swab amphibian bellies for culture samples under the direction of Renee Thakur, 4-H volunteer. The youth also tried their hand at Archery, made Wildlife Track Casts and learned how the make an outdoor Healthy Lifestyles lunch under the direction of Scott Holland, 4-H volunteer.

Jeannie Nichols, 4-H volunteer, conducted a 2 day workshop, July 14 and July 21, to discuss Internet safety and show 4-Hers how to make and design a website and take and edit photos for websites. The websites can be entered in the fair for judging and exhibit by the 4-Hers.

See all the 4-Hers’ accomplishments at the fair! A Cake Auction (includes pies and sweet rolls) and Style Show/Awards Program kicks off the Cass County Fair, Tuesday, August 10, at 6:30 P.M. at the Open Air Auditorium on the Cass County fairgrounds 3 miles north of Weeping Water, Ne. The fair runs through August 14.

Pictured are two of the 108 quilts made by 4-Hers and volunteers as part of the 2010 Care & Share project.  10 quilts (bidders’ choice from the 108 quilts) will be sold when silent auction bidding closes at 9:30 P.M. at the Cass County Fair, Saturday, August 14, in the 4-H Building on the fairgrounds. Proceeds will help fund the 2011 Care & Shareproject.  Bids may be submitted during the fair (August 11-14).  The remaining quilts will be donated to emergency services in Cass and Sarpy Counties and to those in need
