Volunteer Spotlight
4-H Information Night
This open house will take place on Thursday, January 26th from 6-8 p.m. at Cambridge Christian School.
Animal ID Deadlines and Ear Tags
With animal ID also comes the need for ear tags. The Extension Office houses many staff, not just those from 4-H, and we may be out when you stop in. In order to make sure you get the correct items, we ask that you please request ear tags using this ear tag request form. We will send you an email when the tags are ready to be picked up.
We will have more information on animal ID in the near future.
Cloverbud Project Day
Are you new to the Cloverbud Project? Do you want to connect with other Cloverbuds in the area?
Join us on Saturday, February 4th for Cloverbud Project Day in the Community Building at the Isanti County Fairgrounds. There will be hands-on activities, recreation, snacks and fun!
All Cloverbuds (grades K-2) are invited to participate. The 4-H Cloverbud Program supports the positive development of children as they explore their world, discover the possibilities, build self-esteem and practice the basic social skills. These will be the basis for becoming competent, caring, contributing citizens.
