State Fair Thank Yous
We received some notes of appreciation following the Kansas State Fair:
A big thank you goes to the State 4-H office staff, specialists, contract professionals, county agents and volunteers for pulling off a great State Fair. A thank you goes out to all those that came in and worked during our State Fair setup to those who volunteered during judging, worked at the information counter answering questions and promoting 4-H. Thanks to 4-H Regional Specialists, Beth, Amy, Kelsey and Chandra for stepping up and going beyond their own responsibilities to make this year’s State Fair go off without a hitch. A special thank you goes to Dona Ratliff for her tireless efforts for the events preparation and at the State Fair to make it all work. --Rick Peterson
I wanted to provide a thank you to Marisa Hurst, 4-H agent in the 21 Central District. During Kansas State Fair exhibit check-in, she noticed another county's agents (who are also fairly new) struggling to get all of their entries moved in and tagged, and she jumped in to help! Her "what can I do to assist" attitude was much appreciated by those agents and me! --Michelle Beran
