That's a wrap on our Cheese Making Program!

We had a full room, a great turnout, and plenty of steps to work through! From start to finish, our participants jumped in, learned something new, and successfully made it through the cheese-making process.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us today! We loved seeing the interest, learning, and excitement in the room. We hope you enjoyed the experience and feel ready to put your new skills to use!

I spy with my little eye… Lora our Sac County Youth Coordinator taking in the 2026 Youthfest Conference!

This lady deserves a BIG shout-out for bringing fresh ideas back to Sac County 4-H & Clover Kids! She doesn’t just see challenges—she finds solutions and is always looking for ways to help our youth succeed. Her dedication to making great things happen for Sac County youth doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re so proud of the time, effort, and heart she puts into making our 4-H and youth programs the BEST they can be!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Stay Independent program! We were excited to welcome 9 attendees for an informative session focused on staying healthy, independent, and prepared for the future.

Participants learned practical tips for planning, shopping, and preparing balanced meals for one or two people, while also exploring the importance of planning ahead for future healthcare needs.

A special thank you to our Health and Human Sciences Educators, Karissa and Carol, for sharing their knowledge and providing valuable tools and resources that attendees can put to use right away. We appreciate everyone who took the time to join us!

A little thank-you goes a long way!

Our 4-H volunteers give their time, energy, and encouragement to help our youth learn and grow. Let’s show them how much they’re appreciated by sending a handwritten thank-you! 💚

Need a card? We have some available at the Extension Office—stop by, pick one up, and help brighten a volunteer’s day!
