At the annual summer celebration, held on June 27, 2008, the North Country 4-H club sold root beer floats from 4 to 8, and the HCE group sold bars and cookies. The 4-H and HCE had to move under the canopy when a downpour came about 5:30-6 o'clock which lasted for about a ½ hour.

Easter 2008 Highlights

The Easter Bunny (played by Paige Weiske) and Shelby Weiske at the 2008 Easter Egg Hunt.

The 2008 Easter Egg Hunt took place on March 22, in the snowiest of conditions in recent memory. But 48 young people attended the event on a dark and dreary day anyhow.

Members present at the March 4-H meeting filled eggs, numbered prize eggs and prizes to give away.

A thank you from North Country 4-H goes to the Lions Club and Senior Center, along with members of the community who donated to make this year's Easter Egg Hunt successful.
