by Sam Priesendorf

The Union Hall 4-H club met on June 12 at the Land O-Lakes Fairgrounds. The meeting was called to order by President Avery Schiereck. Pledges were led by Kameron Parish. Reese Schiereck gave the Treasurer’s report.

Avery Schiereck and Sam Priesendorf attended the Missouri State 4-H Congress at the University of Missouri in Columbia May 29-31. At the State congress, you can take different leadership and career sessions. This opportunity also gives 4-H members a chance to see what college life is like.

Everyone must complete Missouri Quality Assurance Program who is showing livestock at any fair. This program helps 4-H members understand food quality issue related to animal production.

Several fairs will be held in June and July. This allows 4-H members to show their livestock and/or 4-H projects they have worked on throughout the year.

Cedar County Fair will be June 19-22.

Sac Osage Fair will be June 28-29. This is a livestock only show.

Land O-Lakes Youth Fair is July 9-12

Cedar County 4-H Fundraiser will be October 5th at the Multi-Purpose Room in El Dorado Springs School. This will be to kick off the new 4-H year. All clubs in Cedar County will participate. Our club is in charge of bringing baked beans. We will have a fishing themed basket and two pies to be raffled off. Mark Oct. 5 on your calendar to attend and help out Cedar County 4-H youth.

There is no July meeting since many members will be busy with the fairs.

The club plans on having a meeting and pool party in August 2019. An official date has not yet been decided.
