🌱 Make a Difference in Atchison County! 🍀🏘️

K-State Extension is currently seeking community members to serve on our Program Development Committees (PDCs) in the following program areas:

✅ Agriculture & Natural Resources
✅ Family & Consumer Science
✅ 4-H Youth Development
✅ Community Vitality

What does a PDC member do? PDC members help identify local needs, provide feedback on Extension programs, and ensure that Extension educational efforts address the issues and opportunities that matter most to Atchison County residents.

As a PDC member, you will:

• Share your knowledge and perspective about local needs
• Help identify emerging issues and opportunities in the county
• Provide input on Extension programming priorities
• Serve as a connection between Extension and the community
• Meet just a few times each year

You do not need to be an expert. We are looking for people who care about the future of Atchison County and want to help shape meaningful programming for our communities, families, businesses, farms, and youth.

Your voice matters, and your input helps guide local Extension efforts.

🌟 What a Week at the Fair for Our 4-H'ers! 🌟

It's been a busy and exciting week filled with hard work, learning, and plenty of opportunities for our 4-H members to showcase their talents!

📅 Monday kicked off the week with Posters & Demonstrations Judging, along with exhibits in Visual Arts, Fiber Arts, STEM, Woodworking, and Welding. Members did an outstanding job sharing their knowledge and displaying their skills through their projects.

📅 Tuesday was dedicated to Foods and Photography Judging. From delicious creations to stunning photographs, our 4-H'ers showed off their creativity and attention to detail.

📅 Wednesday featured the Rabbits, Poultry, Beef Shows, and Fashion Revue. Participants proudly exhibited their rabbits, poultry, and cattle and took the stage to showcase clothing and textile projects they worked so hard to complete.

📅 Thursday brought the Swine Show, where members demonstrated their livestock knowledge, showmanship, and dedication to caring for their animals.

We still have many more events as the Horse show is today at 12pm, Sheep & Goats will kick off Friday morning at 9am, and Saturday we have a great line up of Livestock Judging and the Round Robin!

We are incredibly proud of all our 4-H members for their hard work, sportsmanship, and commitment throughout fair week.

Thank you to the families, volunteers, judges, and supporters who help make these experiences possible. Keep up the great work, and enjoy the rest of the fair! 🍀🐖🐄📸🎨🔨
