steele county 4-H

While the SCFF may look a little different this year, but the 4-H fun will still be the same!

Over 200 elementary-age children filled their Christmas gift list during the recent 'Shop with Santa' event presented by Steele County 4-H. Held at St. John Lutheran Church in Owatonna, the event allows children sixth grade and younger to do their shopping with the assistance of 4-H members and away from their parents.

As I wandered through the animal barns Tuesday at the Steele County Free Fair, I talked to some first-year 4-H members and a few who are in their closing days of 4-H.

The Steele County 4-H program is hosting "Splash into 4-H" at the local swimming pools and beach beginning Wednesday, July 27, at River Springs Water Park in Owatonna.

Steele County 4-Her's will serve up their annual pasta dinner on Sunday, March 6, at the Owatonna Junior High. The meal consists of bowtie pasta with spaghetti sauce and meatballs along with garlic bread, whipped fruit salad, cookies, milk and coffee...

Youngsters in sixth grade and younger are invited to Shop with Santa this Saturday, December 5. Numbered bags will be distributed from 7-11:30AM at St. John Lutheran  Church in Owatonna. Shopping will be from 8AM to noon. Your youngster will be escorted by a 4-H volunteer and get assistance in picking out gifts for family and friends...
