A new 4-H club in Ashland County

located on Bad River

Rezberries is working toward shaping leaders

for tomorrow and better places to live for

everyone. Getting involved in a 4H club can

help kids learn about civics, their communi-

ties and bring families closer together

through project work.

One of the neat things about 4-H is that you can do the projects you like and show them at the county fair. You get to learn something new and practice what you love. Here are just a few pro-jects you might be interested in: (there are many more options to choose from)

Dog obedience, raising bunnies or chickens

Painting, drawing, beadwork, leather craft

Growing vegetables, harvesting maple syrup

Writing, music, theater

Lego models, rockets, computers

Archery, cross-country skiing, rock-climbing

4-H operates at the county, state, national and

international level. As a member, you could go to

the state 4-H conference, summer or winter

camps, or even Space Camp in Alabama.

Please visit the Ashland County 4-H UW-

Extention website for more information about

project and other 4-H opportunities:

Now imagine a beautiful summer day and you want to go to the beach. You get there and instead of finding beer cans here and there, you find open space to lay down and enjoy yourself. That was Rezberries that cleaned up that beach. That’s the kind of service projects we’re plan-ning to do. We also hope to do in-tergenerational activities with elders on projects like fairy gardens and valentine activities.

Community Cultural Shooting

Service Arts Sports

Our club will also focus on practicing

and promoting our traditional Ojibwe

culture. Some things we have planned are

having guest speakers, working on bead-

ing projects, and making outfits for pow-

wow. We also will explore ways to share

our pride in our culture through plays

and demonstrations.

You may never learn how to shoot a

bow with your toes, like the girl in the

picture above, but you can learn safe

and effective shooting techniques. We

hope to partner with other organiza-

tions for training and practice in riflry

and archery. It’s a fun and healthy ac-

tivity you can enjoy throughout your

life.
