Wrapped up county fair season today in SEMN. 11 county fairs this year! All were spectacular! And now a break before @mnstatefair starts! #lovemyjob with @UMNExt

So I entered some projects in Foods in the Open Class at the Fair this year. Guess this supports my claim of having some awesome skills 🥇

Today I was able to celebrate the Portland Prairie 4-H Club which has been in continuous club status for 100 years! Some families had 4 generations of members!

Fair #5 - Wabasha County! On Thursday, we had an Extension Commitee meeting & tour followed by lunch at 4-H Food stand. Today was the presentation of the Farm Family & helping the youth make final decisions about State Fair trips! I always love this day! #lovemyjob w/ @UMNExt

Fair #4 - Fillmore County! This is the fair that I MUST get a pork burger. Best in the region! #lovemyjob w/ @UMNExt

Fair #3 - Rice County Thx @KDHLRadio for broadcasting Best of the Best Awards. Good to see @ThommyPetersen Congrats Schultz family Rice Cty Farm Family of the Year. Shake was choc with strawberry & salted caramel add ins called the GOAT - and it is! #lovemyjob w/ @UMNExt

Fair #2 - Dodge County! Hall of Fame awards are on the last day - honored a Farm Family but no milkshake. Sold out! Of course, I did stop to see the quilts. What is your “must see” project area when you go to a #countyfair? #lovemyjob w/ @UMNExt

It’s that time of year again! Extension Committee meeting, 4-H project tour and present Farm family of the Year award. #countyfair #lovemyjob w/ @UMNExt

Not the 1st time I left work after 5 pm on a Friday. Probably not the last. But camping season starts next week so it might be awhile before this happens again!! 😁 #lovemyjob #Summer2023

My view today as Madame Vice President at @semnsynod Assembly. Flourish like trees planted by streams of water #semn23

Once again Public #libraries for the win! Free wifi to catch up on work plus a standing table. Thank you @wasecalibrary for a quiet space to catch up while on the road for @UMNExt #ilovemyjob

What a fabulous luncheon in @cityofalbertlea to celebrate Freeborn County Farm Family for 2023 - The Cech family. This is one of the best parts of working for @UMNExt!
