2025-2026 Lassen County 4H Ambassadors
4-H clubs have been busy with community service activities. Lake and Richmond 4-H members helped set up flags and cleaned the Janesville and Diamond Crest Cemeteries in honor of Veteran’s Day.
Johnstonville 4-H members passed out flowers to the Veterans who were at the Veteran’s Day parade. Lake made ten Thanksgiving baskets for Janesville Elementary School families.
South County members were busy making popcorn balls for Santa’s bag so he could hand them out during the Tree Lighting ceremony on Saturday.
On November 15th, Standish and Dyer Mountain 4-H clubs hosted Favorite Food’s Day at the Westwood Community Center. Members participated by making their favorite dish and/or competing in the table setting contest. This year’s special ingredient was apples.
Congratulations to Bailey Adams, Landon Baehler, and Elaina Strand for placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
We would like to thank the Lassen County Cattlewomen for sponsoring the award for the best beef dish and Standish 4-H for sponsoring the award for the best apple dish.
From November 28th to December 14th, Tractor Supply is hosting the biannual Paper Clover campaign. Tractor Supply customers can “purchase” a paper clover at checkout and it directly benefits the 4-H organization.
We appreciate Tractor Supply’s support and helping our members become “Beyond Ready.”
On December 12th, from 12:00 to 6:00p.m. and December 13th from 9:00a.m. until 4:00p.m., Standish 4-H will be hosting their annual craft fair. You could win a decorated tree along with being able to purchase a variety of holiday themed items.
There will be many local vendors attending this event at the Standish 4-H Hall 718-880 East Hwy 395.
