Sue started volunteering with 4-H at the Nebraska State Fair in 2002, helping at the information booth in the 4-H Building and the Sheep Show. She has volunteered with Lancaster County’s 4-H Clover College since 2010 and Earth Wellness Festival since 2000.
“I like being a 4-H volunteer because of the opportunity to see 4-H’ers participating and having tons of fun laughing and learning in Clover College,” says Sue. “They show seriously-focused minds in competitions at state and county fairs. Their disciplined attitudes so unselfishly give countless hours in caring, feeding, training, sweating — at times tears, too — so their ‘pets’ grow and mature properly. However, unknown to the 4-H’ers, they are also caring, nurturing and training themselves to go beyond their endurance bit by bit. When their bodies are pooped, to give it all they got and then some — to be the best 4-H’ers can be — winners!”
