Hancock County Extension Open House<\/h4>\n

4-H Staff - Leah M<\/span>“It’s not an Extension Open House without your hands getting a little dirty”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rain couldn’t possibly put a damper on our lovely afternoon at the Extension office. There were so many friendly faces sharing their love of Extension. Our Master Gardener Volunteer plant sale was successful, as was the Service Squad’s bake sale! Patrons visiting also got the chance to visit our UMaine touch tank, explore gardening resources, and learn about tick safety! Thank you to all the volunteers, youth, and staff who helped make the day a memorable one!<\/p>\n

4-H Workshops<\/h4>\n

This month, join us for an ocean-inspired workshop<\/a> at the Blue Hill Public Library. On Saturday, June 21, from 10:00 am – 11:30 am, Tess will lead a group through what it’s like to be an oyster farmer. Youth will engineer oyster cages, learn about biofouling, and see if they have what it takes to join the ranks of Maine’s amazing aquaculture workforce! Register now<\/a> on the Blue Hill Public Library’s webpage.<\/p>\n

4-H Foundation Annual Meeting<\/h4>\n

4-H Staff - Carla Scocchi<\/span>“Lots to celebrate at the 4-H Foundation Scholarship Luncheon”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 4-H Foundation Annual Luncheon was a wonderful way for our staff and volunteers to celebrate the youth of Maine 4-H. We were especially thrilled to be there to support Hancock County’s very own Courtney H! It’s amazing that we get to recognize youth year after year for all the hard work they have done in and out of 4-H. Congratulations Courtney!<\/p>\n

Congrats Grads!<\/h4>\n

We are pleased to recognize a Hancock County 4-H’er for their upcoming graduation! If you know this youth, please share a warm congratulations with them!<\/p>\n
