A trip of a lifetime

Hannah Grabau of Preston was one of 28 4-H Minnesota delegates chosen for Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF), a weeklong national program held in Washington, DC. More than 300 4-H students from across the country attended CWF. Participants strengthened their civic skills while experiencing the sites of Washington, DC. Photo submitted

By Annie Lewis When 17-year-old Hannah Grabau of Preston heard she was selected as one of the 4-H delegates to go to Washington, DC, she could hardly believe it. “I had never been too far from home, so going on a trip like this was a dream come true,” Hannah said. Hannah heard about the Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) program from Rebecca Lofgren, 4-H Program Coordinator for Fillmore County. CWF is one of many opportunities available for young people through 4-H and the University of Minnesota Extension which oversees 4-H. As a fourth generation 4-H participant, Hannah has been involved in 4-H for 11 years. She has participated at county and state fairs showing her animals and competing in art, food nutrition and preservation. But this experience was something that took her to a whole new level of learning. Hannah was one of 28 Minnesota delegates chosen for CWF and more than 300 from across the country. “I met people from California, Ohio, Colorado and other states,” Hannah said. “It was fun meet-

ing so many different kids and their chaperones. I learned that 4-H is pretty much the same in other states. It was good to hear firsthand from other kids how they do things.” CFW participants learn from and meet young people from across the nation, strengthen their civic engagement understanding and skills, and experience Washington, DC. Participants learn essential civic leadership skills that encourage them to explore and engage in real change in their communities. The program objectives are met through speakers, workshops, pre-conference webinars and workshop, daily excursions to view national sites and Day at the Capitol with elected officials. The week-long citizenship program was held from June 24-July 1 and took place at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Washington, DC. Hannah, who will be a senior at Fillmore Central High School, met her fellow Minnesota delegates in Farmington. They were oriented about the trip and boarded the bus for the long ride to DC. When Hannah’s Mom, Amy Grabau, was asked if she was

nervous about Hannah leaving home for a week, she said, “A little, but I knew it was run by 4-H and that gave me peace of mind. Plus, I was so happy for her and knew it would be a wonderful experience.” The Grabau’s are family enrolled in 4-H and all three children are Fillmore County Ambassadors. “As part of my trip,” Hannah said, “I had to make a ‘Pay It Forward Plan’ that I’d like to implement someday. My plan focuses on helping teens and young adults with stress management. My goal is to setup a call line for families to get stress management help and to form a support group for this. I learned through CWF that implementing an idea takes a lot of planning and work.” See HANNAH Page 3 

YELLO! Takes Preston Youth to the Big City

Jeremiah Grabau of Preston attended YELLO! (Youth Exploring Leadership and Learning Outloud!), a 4-H citizenship and leadership conference facilitated by the Minnesota 4-H State Ambassadors. YELLO! brings together more than 100 youth from across Minnesota and the nearby region to St. Paul to hear speakers, take part in hands-on activities, engage in a service-learning project, and explore fun and educational opportunities in the region. Photo by Annie Lewis

By Annie Lewis “The Walker Art Center is a really an unusual place,” said Jeremiah Grabau, who recently visited there as part of YELLO! (Youth Exploring Leadership and Learning Outloud!). YELLO! is a 4-H citizenship and leadership conference facilitated by the Minnesota 4-H State Ambassadors. Jeremiah, a 16-year-old Fillmore Central student, attended the 4-H conference from June 14-17 in St. Paul. YELLO! brings together more than 100 youth from across Minnesota and the nearby region to hear motivational speakers, take part in hands-on activities, engage in a service-learning project, and explore fun and educational opportunities in the region. Jeremiah lives in Preston with his parents, Amy and Nathan Grabau, and two sisters. He is a fourth generation 4-H participant and has been actively involved for 10 years. He heard about YELLO! from Rebecca Lofgren, 4-H Program Coordinator for Fillmore County. YELLO! is one of many opportunities available for young people through 4-H and the University of Minnesota Exten-

sion which oversees 4-H. Participants get to meet other youth across the region and plan for action in their home communities through a youth-teaching-youth model. During the week, they engage in leadership activities and a service-learning activity to put into practice some of the skills they learn. Additional activities allow youth to hear from nationally-recognized keynote speakers, learn dances and have a field trip experience in the Twin Cities. “It was so much fun,” said Jeremiah. “We got to pick a night on the town adventure and that’s when I went to the Walker. I’d never been to an art museum like that before. There were seven kids in my group and we just couldn’t believe how cool the exhibits were. There were lots of interactive things to do.” The conference wasn’t all fun and sightseeing. The participants worked on service projects, listened to speakers and learned from one another. One speaker was the head of Canada’s 4-H. Through a mock phone calling exercise, they learned communication skills by actually calling someone to thank them. They also were taught the importance of mak-

ing eye contact and carrying on a conversation. Each day had a different theme. The first day was “Me” day, where Jeremiah said they did things to discover more about their personalities and what motivates them. Day two was “We” day and that was about getting to know others. “We were given a challenge to meet five new friends and I met more than 20,” Jeremiah exclaimed. The final day was “Us” and that focused on team building and doing things for others. “One of the favorite parts for me was the food packing service project,” Jeremiah said. “We worked for a nonprofit called ‘Feed My Starving Children’ and packed 41,000 meals. I learned that this is enough food to feed 113 kids for a year! It made me feel really good to know one person can really make a difference. The leader said we were some of the best packers they ever had and surpassed the goal in the time we had.” The group also went to the Raptor Center, an organization run by the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine that specializes in the See JEREMIAH Page 8 

Summer fun that is close to home

Check the town bulletin for a list of entertaining summer events right in your own backyard. Summer is prime vacation season when travelers take trips to every corner of the world. While faraway destinations abound, those looking for fun can also find enjoyable activities much closer to home. Many communities come alive during the warmer weather, hosting an array of locally driven events. People looking for a day

of entertainment or an evening of excitement may be able to find an event that's just a short car ride away. Pick up a local newspaper or log on to your town's official website to browse a listing of events in your community this summer. Here are a few events you're bound to find. • Carnivals and fun fairs: Open land or empty parking lots can be transformed into bustling carnivals in a matter of days. Carnivals or fairs may be sponsored by private businesses or local religious

organizations looking to raise funds. Some fairs are established by the county and attract participants from near and far. Carnivals often boast a wide array of entertainment, from amusement park-style rides to games of chance to music. • Summer concert series: Summer concerts series typically begin when the weather warms up, and music may not stop playing until Labor Day. Concerts may range from more intimate affairs that attract a few dozen people to a town square to larger events at beaches and boardwalks that draw thousands of visitors. • Food festivals: Various towns close down their Main Streets from time to time to accommodate food festivals that feature a variety of cuisines. Some food festivals may feature one ingredient, such as garlic or cheese, while others may delve deeper and offer broader menus. Food

ings are open to the public.

festivals allow visitors to sample many different treats and may serve to advertise for neighborhood eating establishments. • Street fairs: Street fairs also may close down thoroughfares in town. These events usually bring together a variety of vendors selling their wares in an open market setting. You can make a day of touring all of the vendor booths and buying handmade items from local artisans. • Outdoor movies: Local parks frequently host summer movie nights when participants can view a movie on the big screen while under the stars. This can be an informal way to get the entire family together for a fun flick. Films are typically family-friendly and schedules are available well in advance. Bring a blanket and some snacks and enjoy an inexpensive evening together. Many people need not travel far for a little summertime fun, as many communities host fun events throughout the warmer months.
