The Prairie Rose 4H club was called to order by President Zoi Yoho via Zoom on Sunday. 

Sophia Heim, song leader, led the club in the Pledge of Allegiance and the 4-H Pledge. The club members answered roll call by answering “What is your favorite ice cream?” There were 16 members, two cloverbuds, and two community leaders present.

Kim also reported that the new theme this year for fair will be “COVID.” She reminded everyone that fair entries are due July 1, and to be looking for the fair tab soon. 

The club voted to sponsor two awards this year for the fair.
