A lot of the kids did really well at these events taking top prizes for their horses, sheep, agricultural exhibits and home arts entries. Well done! Club members Record Books were returned at the meeting after being judged by the county.

Big Fun at the Horse Science Project California State Fair Hi, my name is Vicki Duncan I am the countywide Teen Leader of the Horse Science project. We cover topics like safety, proper equipment, bandaging and much more. Every member will have the opportunity to work hands on with horses. Meetings will be held at my ranch. Our first meeting will be held November 17th at 7:00PM. For more information, call

This year at the state fair, I had my pygmies entered in the show. It was a great experience getting to show there. I had a wether, and a doe entered. When I was in my wether class, there were 13 goats total. I was very excited when he won 2nd place! If you win 1st or 2nd, you get to go back in the ring to compete for champion/reserve champion wether. Since I won 2nd, the best I could get was Reserve champion. There were 1st/2nd place junior, intermediate, and senior wethers lined up. Samson, was an intermediate wether. I was hoping that the wether that won first of my class won, because I would have a chance to win reserve. I was glad they won champion, so I had a chance. I thought that maybe the judge would chose the really nice senior wethers, but she gave Samson reserve champion! I was very excited. Also, I would like to thank the people who helped with hospitality at the Yolo County Fair.

Countywide Goat Group

Hi, all you goat people out there! Summer is over (unfortunately), but the members of the countywide goat group were busy all summer long. At the Yolo County Fair, we all had a blast showing our goats under a Boer judge and Dairy goat judge Karen Smith. Ben Hayes and Nate Tauzer also took several goats to the State Fair. Overall, this summer was a great one! The countywide goat group is a fun place to learn all about goat care. In the Beginner group (anyone who has not been in the goat group for a full year), we have meetings that cover everything from breeds to hoof trimming to showmanship, and everything in between, and we will be discussing a different goat disease every month. There will also be presentations by the Junior and Teen Leaders on things like goat parts, giving medications, feeding, worming, and a vocabulary list – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! There will also be informative handouts and dates for other meetings, goat field days, etc., so be sure to bring a binder (with paper and a pen in it!), and a planner or calendar. Advanced members will be meeting after the beginners, and are welcome to go to both meetings.

John Rogers Hall – Yolo County Fair

WOW! Many thanks to all our 4-Hers and parents who pitched in and helped with taking entries, supervising, judging, clerking for our judges, displaying the many, many items and helping to return those items.

A big goes to Brianne Bradford for all her planning, calling and organizing of our hospitality. Everyone made their shifts and we thank you for helping us to meet our commitment to the Yolo County Fair. John Rogers Hall looked great. Each year we get better and this year we had some very clever displays. Sandra Alderson was the

mastermind behind “Wacky Town.” Holly Chesnut & Lauren Ruddell took great care in displaying the entries. Jennie and Marie Hartman were,

helping EVERYWHERE! Lindsey Berg gave expert clerking for our judges. Brianne and Melissa Bradford worked with the tiny things in the glass display case and worked on the whole back wall displaying all of the senior art and many of our group projects. Ira & Emma Gray stepped in to help and brought several friends too! Jay and Christopher Baker super and very persistent as runneand also learned how to check in exhibits. Erika and Nicky Schwall learned very quickly and becaexperts at taking entries under pressure. Then there was David Cristler (the “Boss”). David has helped for several years and really knows the ropes. I know he was very tired by the time we were done on the 18th.

Thank you to all of you 4-Hers for giving a lot of time, energy and talent to this project. You can be very proud of your efforts and accomplishments.

In addition to our 4-Hers we had some great support from our parents. Lynn Ruddell helped with accepting entries on Thursday, August 7th. Georgiann Hartman and Darlene Brazil are now very experienced at checking the entry tags for “no shows.” After entries are closed we have to account for each entry and get

the judging sheets ready for the judges. Georgiann and Darlene kept caught up on the “no shows” so that we could be ready for our judges the next day. Our older 4-Hers, David, Sandra, Jennie & Marie were a big help too. Roberta Cristler, in her very quiet and efficient way, would ship in to check on David and just start working. Nancy Gray lent her able hand and she and Emma displayed a lot of our group work. I know this is a long article but I don’t want to forget anything. Sponsoring John Rogers Hall is a very important community service to our county. The staff of the Yolo County Fair is very proud of us. Thank you to each and every one of you who helped supervise the junior exhibits. Thank you, too, to those who gave their support as part of our hospitality team. I hope you will join me again next year.

P.S. Karen Chesnut, as always, gives us great support and her

spirit and enthusiasm energizes everyone. Karen slipped and fell as I

was trying to clean-up a jar of apple butter I had dropped on the floor. Karen was moving so fast that she was down and back up before I saw what had happened. We were so rushed and I hope Karen didn’t hurt herself. Thank you Karen for all your support. By Mary Rodegerdts

"Life after Budget Cuts": A Message from the State Director

August, 2003

Dear 4-H Youth and Volunteers:

Throughout the spring and summer, so many of you have been involved in efforts to let legislators and the public know about the proposed budget cuts and their potential impact on Cooperative Extension and the 4-H Youth Development Program. Your efforts have been phenomenal! You have done a tremendous job of raising public awareness of our program and the impact we make on youth and communities. All over the state, volunteers and youth have conducted powerful letter and fax campaigns. We’ve also seen many letters to the editor, newspaper articles, and television spots that showcased the wonderful contributions the program makes, and the challenges we face with budget cuts. The cuts to Cooperative Extension and the 4-H YDP could have been much worse, if it hadn’t been for all of your efforts, and the increased visibility of the 4-H YDP. Thank you so much for your tremendous support and hard work. I am constantly awed and inspired by your commitment and passion for 4-H! With the passage of the state budget, we know that Cooperative Extension is faced with a 25% budget cut. There are still many questions that need to be addressed about where those cuts will be made, but we do know that Vice President Reg Gomes has made county-based programs (including the 4-H YDP) a top priority. While we know that the counties will still face some cuts, we are also encouraged by the fact that the work that happens at the local level has been recognized and valued. In order to preserve county-based programs as much as possible, administration and statewide units will take a greater share of cuts (this includes the State 4-H Office and the California 4-H Foundation). The State Office and Foundation will eliminate three positions and assume additional cuts in operating support. However, in spite of these cuts, we plan to continue seeking new ways to support the work that happens locally. We will be doing some strategic planning in early September to address the question, “Given the current reality of our state staff and budget, how can we be of

most support to counties, both programmatically and financially?” Our planning will be guided by the Mission and Direction core values and program criteria. We will have to eliminate some of our activities, and possibly add new areas of focus. If you would like to provide input, please share your thoughts with the 4-H Advisor or Program Representative in your county, who can send it along to us. We will share the results of this strategic planning with you, when it’s completed, and will disseminate updated contact information for the State 4-H Office and 4-H Foundation. I am confident that our program will remain strong and effective, and that we will be able to continue “engaging youth in reaching their fullest potential”! Thank you, Carole MacNeil, State Director University of California 4-H YDP
