On July 23, part of the Western Valley 4-H Club attended Fort Peck Summer Theatre’s production of Matilda and swam in the Dredge Cuts afterwards. The only members who actually came were Michael Ketchum, Linden Holt, and myself. Matilda was brilliant, and anyone who didn’t get a chance to see it sorely missed out. Sewing Camp was July 30. Although our club was hosting, the only members who attended were Linden and I. We had some difficulties, as the people we thought were helping never sho...
4-H Camp was June 13-15. Michael Ketchum, Linden Holt, and Zora Holt chose to be counselors. Nikiyah Jones, Ryan Jones, A'aligha Jones, Broc McColly, and Kort Strommen attended as campers. A grand time was had by all. We had our annual Rabies Clinic on June 17. N. Jones, R. Jones, A. Jones, Strommen, Cienna Stommen, M. Ketchum, L. Holt and Z. Holt all attended. Dr. Rose Stoneberg kindly volunteered to vaccinate the animals for us. The clinic was conducted by Maxwell Herd Health, but Dr. Patty...
The Western Valley 4-H Club held our May meeting and annual Theony Cemetery clean-up on May 19. Michael Ketchum, Linden Holt, Cooper Albus, Broc McColly, and I were the only members able to make it. LaMae and Steve Lacock joined us and fed us after the clean-up. Historically, the cemetery has suffered from a cactus infestation, but over the years we have been able to cut back on the cactus quite a bit. As usual, our May meeting was rather unorganized, due to the absence of our President, Vice...
The Western Valley 4-H Club held our April meeting on April 23. Our president, vice president, and parliamentarian forgot about the meeting, so they had to Zoom in. We discussed progress on the Rabies Clinic and Sewing Camp. June 17, is our tentative date for Rabies Clinic, but Sewing Camp plans are currently at a standstill. We also began to make plans for our annual Thoeny Cemetery clean-up. So far, May 7 seems to be the best day for cleaning the cemetery. After the meeting, we had cake and...
The Western Valley 4-H Club held our March meeting on March 5. Secretary Linden Holt asked the roll call question of "How many monkeys does it take to change a light bulb?" We had answers ranging from "one really smart one" to a billion. Michael Ketchum decided it "only takes one monkey to change a light bulb into broken glass!" The rest of our meeting passed uneventfully. After the meeting, members ate sandwiches, potato salad, and unicorn cupcakes prepared by the cooking cl...
The Western Valley 4-H Club held our January meeting on Jan. 28. Ten members, one leader, and four parents were present. The club received four thank-you letters for fruit baskets. After the uneventful meeting, we had make-your-own tacos for supper. Some members had a brief Nerf War before everyone had to go home. We held our February meeting on Feb. 4. Secretary Linden Holt asked the amusing roll call question of "What number is the ultimate answer to the universe?" We had answers ranging from...

The Western Valley 4-H Club held our November meeting on Nov. 6. We welcomed new members Haizyn Rutherford and Ryan Jones during this meeting. The meeting was quite uneventful. We drew names for our Secret Santa gift exchange and discussed upcoming club activities. On Nov. 9, Western Valley 4-H Club members Haizyn Rutherford and Cooper Albus attended the Kiwanis meeting in Glasgow. Every year, Glasgow’s Kiwanis Club gives the top four 4-H Clubs an award. Haizyn and Cooper, the youngest members in attendance, were fortunate enough to accept W...
Western Valley 4-H Club members Kade Strommen, Cienna Strommen, Layna Jones, and Zora Holt got together on Oct. 12 and gave ice-cream to Hinsdale’s student body to promote 4-H. While enjoying their ice-cream, the elementary kids learned about 4-H and why they might want to join. The kids also took a slip of paper home to their parents which explained what 4-H is and how to join. We gave ice-cream to both elementary students and high school students, although the high schoolers seemed more interested in ice-cream than 4-H. On Oct. 15, Western V...
