NDSU Extension/Stark-Billings County

More from State Land Judging

Last week was the 4-H State Land Judging contest held in Manning. Our 4-H members brought home some awards. The senior team combined with Grand Forks County to take 1st in the contest. The Junior team also took first. Stark-Billings also had high individual for both age divisions. Congrats to all that participated. The Stark-Billings members were coached by Kurt Froelich, Stark-Billings Extension Agent.

A couple of exhibits from our Stark-Billings youth at State Fair!

Stark-Billings kids are competing in Minot at State Fair this week! Good luck to all the youth!

We are finally getting some what caught up at the office after 4-H achievement days. Here are a few photos I caught with my phone over the week. We will be getting plaque photos sent out to those youth soon. If you would like other photos sent to you please let us at the office know.
Thank you to all the great youth and volunteers we get to work with!

Check out the kids fair next weekend at the fairgrounds!

Yesterday at our premium sale we awarded 2 Friend of 4-H awards. These 2 sponsors have done so much for our County 4-H program.
Thank you to Marcia and Galen Sickler and West Dakota Vet as our 2026 recipients.

4-H youth are getting their animals in place for a great show today! We are in the new Livestock Building at the Stark County Fairgrounds all day! Come take a look!

As you enjoy this fair season, remember that fair events aren't just about ribbons - they're about building character, responsibility, and lifelong skills!

The friendships made in the barn often outlast any trophy. Win or lose, focus on what you've learned and how you've grown.
