I have a fun time in 4-H. We have a lot of fun times at the meetings and at the fair. We do all sorts of things, even help others. Normally, we will just have a meeting and find out what's happening and what we are going to do next time. We only meet once a month.

I go to the Danube Full-O-Pep club. We aren't that big of a group, but we are all girls. We go to the Renville Nursing Home and play Bingo and sometimes we even bring our rabbits to show them. One time, we went there and no one from our 4-H club got a Bingo, all of the elders got it. For prizes, we have candy or just a little snack. We try to go there about four times a year because the elders really like it.

Another thing we do is plant flowers. Every spring, once it gets warmer, we plant flowers at the Danube Community Center and the Danube Depot. When we plant flowers at the Depot, there are two little bins that are filled with dirt. We put in some Miracle Grow and then we stir it up and put in flowers. At the Community Center, there is an edge with lots of space. We don't put any other dirt because it already has enough dirt already. After we plant the flowers, we usually have our monthly meeting.

Once it starts getting close to the end of the school year, we start to have dog and horse training. Dog training is where we take our dogs and teach them to do different tricks with and without leashes. In horse training, we play games and also learn to do different tricks.

In the summer, we have meetings outside at the Danube park or we go on trips. We also go bowling if it is raining outside. When it is about two weeks before the fair, its the dog show. It is at the fair grounds and it is really hot. At the end of the summer, it's the county fair. We show a lot of animals. There are cows, horses, chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, and even llamas. Horses, cows, and llamas are in one barn and then the other building. It is really hot, but a lot of fun. We go there at about eight in the morning and get home at about eleven. On the first day, we just unpack everything and get our animals in their pens. After we are done, we go walk around and find our other friends to hang out. We go on rides and hang out with our animals.

On the second day, we go early and clean the cages. Then I have to go and clean my horse for the show. It's fun to give her a bath because it's hot so; it feels good to get splashed with water. After the show, we go and walk around. At night, we ride more rides and hang out late. The third day, we go and I get ready to play in the horse games. It's a lot of fun because you don't have to worry about looking nice or making sure that our horse does the right thing. After the games, we just hang out in the stalls and cool off as much as we can. Then we hang out again.

On the last day, we load everything up. Not a lot of people go on the last day, so we don't miss anything that amazing. It starts to get crazy at the end because we need to get all of our stuff taken out at a specific time. After the fair, we are happy with what we got in our rewards and can't wait until next year.

4-H is a lot of fun for anyone. We do lots of fun things and it doesn't matter how old you are. I haven't been in 4-H for long, but ever since I've been in it, I've enjoyed every minute of it. It is a good way to make new friends and even learn so much that you don't even realize it.
