County News\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"picture<\/a>Do you have a gently-used suitcase you no longer need? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Consider donating it to the Aroostook County Homemakers! They are collecting suitcases for foster children, who often must move their belongings from location to location in nothing more than a garbage bag. The homemakers are working with DHHS to bring a little dignity to the process of moving for these kiddos. Drop off your lightly loved suitcases (or duffel bags or wheelies or back packs) to the Presque Isle Extension office and President Dianna Day will be sure to get them to the kids who need them.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Fun at the Fair!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thank you to all our Aroostook 4-H members, volunteers, families, and friends for coming out and supporting the 4-H program at the Northern Maine Fair this year.\u00a0 In spite of the heat, members showed off their skills, knowledge, and talents in numerous activities over the course of five days. Aroostook 4-H members who participated in the fair should be receiving their premium checks in the mail within the next week.\u00a0 I<\/span>f you have some Fun Fair photos to share, please send them along to emily.dow@maine.edu<\/a> and we can share them in an upcoming newsletter edition.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
