Cottonwood Connections June 2021

June 2021

Greetings from the Director:

When the calendar turns to June, Extension offices across the state turn their attention to the 4-H and Youth Development programs like Day Camps, overnight camp at Rock Springs Ranch and County Fairs. The Cottonwood Extension District is gearing up for these great learning opportunities. With COVID restrictions relaxing, you will find the Barton and Ellis County Fairs are including many of the traditional fair related activities. The Barton County Fair runs from July 7th through the 11th, and the Ellis County Fair is set for July 10th through the 17th. Check with each of our offices closer to the Fair to mark the activities you want to attend.

A couple of new faces in the Cottonwood District this summer include our summer interns, Mattie Rossi, and Tamara Robertson. Both FHSU students nearing the end of their college career, these young ladies are sure to bring good energy to our offices when extra hands are needed. Mattie is interning in the Hays office, while Tamara is helping out in the Great Bend office. Stop by and say “Hi.”

I hope you will take a few minutes and check out all of the great learning opportunities our Cottonwood team members have scheduled during the month of June. And join us for the ones that fit your schedule.

Have a great summer!

Donna Krug, District Director
