National 4-H Week, celebrated from October 6-12, honors the impact of 4-H programs that have shaped youth leaders for over 100 years. In Wisconsin, the tradition continues as youth develop essential life skills through hands-on learning. Angie Ulness, Manitowoc County Dairy Youth Specialist and 4-H alum, shares her 4-H journey and its lasting influence. "I joined 4-H as soon as I was old enough," Ulness recalls. "Our family was active in the Maplewood Beavers 4-H club. From dairy projects to leadership roles, 4-H shaped my path." Today, 4-H goes beyond traditional projects like animal care and extends to STEM, leadership, and community service opportunities. Ulness notes, "In Manitowoc County, we have clubs focusing on robotics and mechanics. There's something for every interest, whether it's animal projects or technology."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S Lessons from Rocky 2 E Lessons from Rocky 2. Work Pray before work-Prayer from priest before going to fight, prayed that if he gets beat up it won't be too bad Have a sense of humor Be humble Don't see anyone's work as beneath you (carrying spit pails at gym) Don't put your work before your family Relationships Always built up Adrian and spoke well towards her and about her (heard this is important to always live by) Put his marriage before his work Arguing playfully over who they want their kid to be like (each other) Self-depricating Have a sense of humor L From Rocky 2 - Why do cows wear bells, because their horns don't work A For adversity, which fits in well with the Rocky 2 theme, I have a passage from 2 Cor 4:8-18 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. Seeing the Invisible 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. A few observations - if you feel crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed, remember this passage which says we are none of those things, but rather we may be hard-pressed, preplexed, persecuted, and struck down. I guess the point is not exagerate what's going on in your life and choose your descriptive words with care. Second, even though our outward man is perishing, our inward man is being renewed day by day. Third, the things which are seen are temporary and those unseen are eternal. Whis is more important? Of course, the things which are eternal. The Bible says to set your mind on things above, not on the things on the earth. H Week 17 Day 3 from Proverbs for Business by Steve Marr

Cobie and John discuss the details for the 4-H Village exhibits for the upcoming Mississippi State Fair. Transcript: Announcer: This is 4-H-4-U-2, a podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here now are your hosts, Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. John Long: Welcome back 4-H-4-U-2, and I am one of your hosts, John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie Rutherford. John Long: All right. Cobie, we just literally got back yesterday from our trip to the Southern Regional Professional Leaders Network. Is that right? Did I say that right? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think that's right. It was a conference of acronyms. John Long: Yes it was, for sure. We needed a catalog of the acronyms because I was lost. That was our first time there, but I had a good time. It was in New Orleans, so that's always a big time. Cobie Rutherford: The Big Easy. John Long: Yes. The Big Easy. What was your favorite thing? Of course you can't say New Orleans without, or New Orleans without saying something about the food. So what was your favorite? We did not eat beignets, I will say that. So go ahead and we can scratch that from everybody's minds, but what was your favorite thing we ate there? Cobie Rutherford: The favorite thing I think was, gosh so many good foods, but probably the crawfish etouffée. John Long: That was really good, wasn't it? Cobie Rutherford: That was a fantastic. John Long: Mine was the oysters Rockefeller. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, they were good, too. John Long: I've never had that before and it was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I'm ready to go back. John Long: I am, too. I am, too. Cobie Rutherford: Just do a tour of food. Go buy some pants that are a couple sizes too big and just grow into them. John Long: Grow into them. Yeah, you can do it down there for sure. Cobie Rutherford: Without a doubt. John Long: Yeah. Great atmosphere. And that was your first time going. Cobie Rutherford: It was good. It was good. I got to meet several people from across the south and learn what they're doing to make their 4-H program successful in their state, so maybe we can bring some of that back to Mississippi. John Long: Yeah, I definitely think we've got some things we can brainstorm on for sure. So, that was really good. But we're not talking about that today. We're going to be talking about what's upcoming in our world and hey, everybody else for that matter is one of the greatest things we have in our state and brings people from all over, And that's the a Mississippi State Fair. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: And 4-H has a role in that, so let's talk about that. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think that sounds good. You know, growing up the State Fair was always fun to me for livestock projects. But as we would go there and see all the other things that the 4-H'ers from around the state were doing, it was kind of neat to put all that stuff together and have it in one location. John Long: We never went to the state fair. Cobie Rutherford: Really? John Long: No. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I guess the only reason we went in Alabama was because of the livestock. You go out to the Midwest and it's like a huge thing. Everyone goes to State Fair. John Long: Right, Iowa State Fair. Cobie Rutherford: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, it was- John Long: Nebraska. Cobie Rutherford: Yep, Nebraska. Big, big events. And Mississippi kind of almost has a Midwestern feel to it. It seems like a lot of people from all across the state go down to State Fair. John Long: Right. Well I know we've made it our family tradition, and I wouldn't want to stop it now for anything because it is a lot of fun, especially out there on that midway. John Long: We do have some 4-H related activities other than the livestock and different things, so what is it exactly we're going to be talking about today 4-H related? Cobie Rutherford: So, the main point of today's podcast is going to be the 4-H Village. Last year was my first 4-H Village experience and last year- John Long: Was no bloodshed. Cobie Rutherford: There was no bloodshed. It was fantastic. We set up all these different shops in the Trade Mart Arena. Now I understand we're going to be in a different location this year and hadn't got all those details worked out. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: So we're going to do a few things different, but basically this is a chance for 4-H'ers from across the state to enter their exhibits that they've already competed with on a county or district level, and have them judge on a statewide basis. It brings awareness to our programs, to what our volunteers are teaching our youth, and it's a really neat thing. All exhibits from produce, fruits and vegetables grown in the 4-H'ers gardens, all the way to a creative arts exhibit. John Long: Right. You know, we heard that term this week when we were at that meeting being the best kept secret. And you know, it's strange to think because we're so involved in 4-H and we know what 4-H has to offer, but there are so many people out there that really don't know what 4-H does and it's a perfect opportunity for that, right? Cobie Rutherford: That's right. And you know, besides the recognition of coming down and competing in a statewide event, like you said, it's a great public relations piece for us because it showcases our 4-H'ers. Wow, they did that through a 4-H Club? And just kind of opens up those doors of opportunity. John Long: Right. This is actually probably one of my favorite times of year, is State Fair, and it's because we get to see these exhibits that these young people put out. It's a really amazing, some of the creativity, and I always step away thinking, really they use that ... I do the environmental shop or help with environmental shop, and it's amazing what kids can take an item, a recycle item or something like that, and make something of use out of it, you know? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. My favorite last year were the gallon jugs that the children painted pink and made- John Long: Pigs. Cobie Rutherford: Pigs out of them. John Long: Yeah, the pigs. Cobie Rutherford: And what were those, planters? Or were they piggy banks, or what? John Long: I can't remember. Wasn't they planters? Cobie Rutherford: I think there were planters, yeah. And then, I mean just all kinds of things. John Long: You know what my favorite one was? Cobie Rutherford: Which one? John Long: The wind driven car. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah, yeah. I do remember that. I tell you the one that I remember most, I'm not going to say the least favorite, but the one that stands out to me was the creative arts division, those children were making the door wreaths and one had made a clown for Halloween. John Long: Oh, I remember that. Cobie Rutherford: Do you remember that orange wreath? John Long: It was like Pennywise, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it was definitely a good decoration for the Halloween holiday. John Long: Right, right. It was kind of creepy though, looking at it in the shop every time I walked by. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it was like looking at you. But what I thought was- John Long: Wherever angle you were at. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, the eyes were kind of creepy. But it was kind of neat, especially in that creative art shop, is how many of those items could go towards like an entrepreneurship. Kids selling those to make money for field trips or whatever. I mean, there was a lot of legitimate items in there that I would buy as a consumer. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: And even that the kids made it, it was that much more appealing. John Long: Absolutely. They do put a lot of work into those exhibits, for sure. But what other, I guess when we're talking about the village and us judging the exhibits, and of course we have our judging day, but what's our main, I guess, day that we have that's 4-H day? What we call 4-H day. We want to talk a little bit about that too, obviously, because when we talk about showcasing 4-H, that gives us at least a one day or a morning to where we have activities for the young people that might not even be in 4-H, but as an outreach to those that are or are not. What are some of those things that we do during that time? Cobie Rutherford: So first of all, I guess 4-H day is going to be held on Saturday, October 12th. John Long: It's good to know what day it's on. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's a key thing when you start mentioning that, "Oh my gosh, I better get my calendar in front of me." John Long: Yeah, right. Let's pull it back up. Cobie Rutherford: So, 4-H day at the fair is just a plethora of a lot of different activities. So we have, of course, all the items on display, all the exhibits that have been judged already with the ribbons hanging up, but we also have several other events and contests are taking place. So the one I kind of host is the 4-H public speaking contest at the fair that's held at the Mississippi Cattleman's Association building right there on Monroe Street, and that was a great time last year. I know that we have also the fashion review, which is a lot of fun. I don't really know, I think that's where the children select an item of clothing and model it, or do they make their own, or is there two divisions? John Long: I think there's two divisions on that. Cobie Rutherford: I think you're right. One is homemade and then one is selected. John Long: That's correct. I think that is correct. Cobie Rutherford: So, that was a lot of fun last year. Kind of watch the kids model their garments was kind of cool. Also, you had quite a few safety activities last year, right? John Long: I did, yeah. The caveman skeet was a big hit again, and that was, of course, trying to break the clay targets. I don't know, based on where we're going to be, if we're going to be able to do that, and it's not a firearm related activity, by the way. Cobie Rutherford: It's a cave man. John Long: Yeah, a cave man. We did not have firearms day. But we're taking basically a sock filled with beans and throwing it, trying to break a clay target that's set up. But that was a lot of fun. Of course we had making hand turkeys. That's always a big favorite. Face painting. We had some really good face painting going on. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I do remember that. Somebody painted up our boy, didn't they? John Long: Yes, they did. Cobie Rutherford: What was he, a tiger? John Long: Yeah, it was a tiger. Cobie Rutherford: I thought I remembered that. John Long: Did you remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Cobie Rutherford: Uh-uh (negative). I don't remember that. John Long: I've got pictures. I have to show you that. The clown was creepy. It was just then the process. It turned out really good though. Cobie Rutherford: Huh. And those activities were done by our ambassadors and council officers, right? John Long: Yeah. Jaylin was actually was at one station. Jaylin being Jaylin, our president. Our former state president, I should say, we've had on the podcast. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah. John Long: But she did that. And I can't remember who else was helping her, but anyway. Cobie Rutherford: That's going to be a fun day for sure. John Long: Yep. Cobie Rutherford: What I'm looking forward to, and I messed up this year. John Long: What'd you do? Cobie Rutherford: I was doing the work assignments and sending those out to the agents, trying to line up judges and all that kind of stuff for the activities, and I had made a mental note to myself to make sure that I judged the culinary arts division at the fair. John Long: Oh, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: And for some reason I forgot about it when I was doing those assignments. So, totally jealous of those- John Long: You have the power to change that though. Cobie Rutherford: I've already sent it out, so once you hit that send button it's kind of done. John Long: Oh, okay. That's right, it's out there. Cobie Rutherford: But all those cookies and cakes and breads and things those 4-H'ers turned in last year, they looked fantastic. John Long: They did. They really did. I try to stay as far away from that as I can because I know the midway's coming. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, yeah. But you know, the midway is costly. John Long: Ah, you're not kidding. Cobie Rutherford: If you're serving as a judge, you get to sample all that goodness for free. John Long: True. For free, yes. Free is good. Free is good. I'm sorry, we're going to have to have a sidebar. What's your favorite fair food? Cobie Rutherford: My favorite fair food is probably funnel cakes. John Long: Yeah, those are good. Cobie Rutherford: Those are my favorite. Messy, but good. John Long: I have a thing that I try something different every year. I've done the fried Twinkie. I think I did the fried Snicker bar. I don't know what I'm going to try this year. Cobie Rutherford: So bar none, my favorite fair food I ever had was at the Kentucky State Fair, and it was a Krispy Kreme hamburger. John Long: Really? Cobie Rutherford: It was so good. And I mean, I got it fully loaded with the cheese and ketchup and mustard. I didn't get lettuce or tomatoes or anything like that on it, or onion. John Long: Right. Was it basically two donuts- Cobie Rutherford: Two donuts. John Long: With meat? Cobie Rutherford: With meat. John Long: Heck, you could try that at the house. Cobie Rutherford: Well, I don't know what it is about fair food, but everything's always better at the fair. John Long: Oh, I know. Cobie Rutherford: I think it would be disgusting trying that at the house. John Long: Maybe. Maybe. Cobie Rutherford: So, I don't know, maybe those hamburgers were cooked in donut grease or something. John Long: Probably. Probably. I want to try the, what is it called? The meat Sunday or something like that. I never had that. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, the hot beef Sunday. John Long: Yeah, I've always- Cobie Rutherford: You know, I don't know that they still do those. John Long: Oh really? Okay. I missed my chance. Cobie Rutherford: They used to do those, but that's something we make it home. John Long: Oh, okay. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, just get some mashed potatoes and put some roast beef and gravy over it with cheese. That's really good. And if you like tomatoes, put a cherry tomato on top. John Long: You can tell it's getting close to the lunchtime here while we're recording this. Cobie Rutherford: I know. That's the- John Long: Okay, so we really got off track and I'm sorry about that. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that's fine. John Long: Well, it was all fair related. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's right. We were okay. John Long: Yeah, but anyway. Cobie Rutherford: Other division that ... John talked about the shops while ago, and we have the agribusiness shop, and that was cool last year. We had opportunities for kids to turn in different projects they had done within the animal sciences or plant sciences systems. Some of them who grew up on cotton or corn farms actually brought produce from their family's farms to be exhibited and judged. We had kids that made rope halters for goats and sheep or whatever they wanted to use them on, but I think of all the shops, I'm most envious of your environmental shop. John Long: I love it. I feel so fortunate to be in that one. Cobie Rutherford: The recycled items were probably by far most creative, but putting together those tackle boxes, those things are really useful. John Long: They are. They really are. We go back to the creativity, but then there's the functionality exhibits that we have, as well. I really think it teaches a lot, as far as you think, "Oh, we're putting together tackle box," but you really need to make sure that you have everything in there. You know what I mean? It's laid out and it's very specific and it's very functional. One time I will say though, I had somebody that had this catfish stink bait and it looked like it was about 30 years old. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, geez. John Long: Oh, yes. So when I opened the tackle box, yeah, it was disgusting. It was. Fish may like it, but it was pretty gross. Cobie Rutherford: It'd probably bring them out, I guess. John Long: Yeah, make sure you got fresh supplies. Cobie Rutherford: You know, one thing that I kind of- John Long: They haven't found live worms yet though, so that's good. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that'd be fun. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: The thing that I was surprised that more people didn't enter last year was making the first aid kits. John Long: Yes, I know. Cobie Rutherford: I only had like four of those last year. John Long: I know. I know. Cobie Rutherford: And something that would be pretty useful. John Long: Oh yeah. Yeah, definitely, for sure. For sure. Birdhouses, I think were a number of birdhouses. We always have a good number of birdhouses. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: I always liked, and I'm going to reveal something, I love when somebody ... Of course this is going out fast, but the DVDs or the CDs that they make for coasters. I've seen some really nice coasters made out of CDs. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that's interesting. John Long: Yeah. That's compact disc for those younger listeners. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah. John Long: Before we had- Cobie Rutherford: When we get ready to retire somebody will have our archaic iPhone and make birdhouses out of them. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: Birdhouses with WiFi. John Long: That's right. That's right. Cobie Rutherford: You know, the other shot that we hadn't mentioned much is the fashion shop. John Long: Yes. Yeah, that's true. Well, we kind of touched on it in fashion review. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's true. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: The fashion shop, I was overwhelmed at some of the things that they came up with last year and how good of seamstress- John Long: Oh, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I guess is seamstress gender neutral, I think. John Long: Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I think that's the right word. So, I don't know. Young men are getting- John Long: Taylor. Cobie Rutherford: Taylor, maybe. They put together some of those garments that were really, really good, from apron's to I remember one pretty exquisite dress that somebody had done last year that was really neat. Cobie Rutherford: The other shop is the horticulture shop, and that was pretty fun to judge because that's where the youth had brought in items from their gardens. Maybe three tomatoes or basket of green beans or three apples. That got to be pretty interesting. You'd think, well some of those things may not be in season, but however they plan their garden to make them be in season for State Fair took a lot of planning and prep. John Long: Right. And then they get to replace that later, right? They stay out on display and then they get them ... How does that work? I haven't judged that shop, so I don't know. Cobie Rutherford: So, there are two different entry days that they can turn them in on. The first would be that Tuesday, October 2nd, or they can submit them the following week on the Tuesday and have it out. John Long: Okay, okay, okay. Cobie Rutherford: So we have Marcus Davis takes care of that, of course, on the second day. John Long: Okay, cool. Yeah. Thank you, Marcus. Shout out to Marcus. He's awesome. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, so that's a pretty neat shop. I thought, well if you wanted to, if you went the grocery store and bought them items, put them together, but really, there's no financial incentive to do that. So, we know our 4-H'ers are growing these products themselves, because if you win a blue ribbon that's not probably going to cover the cost of buying that thing at the grocery store. John Long: Right. Exactly. What's the point? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it really makes that negligible, I guess. John Long: Right. It does. It does. Cobie Rutherford: What is the other shop? So, safety- John Long: Oh, Clover. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, Clover. John Long: Oh, I love that shop. I love that. Cobie Rutherford: Do you remember they a toilet paper snowman? John Long: Cloverleaf. Huh? Cobie Rutherford: The toilet paper snowman over in that shop last year. John Long: Oh, yeah. I remember that well. Cobie Rutherford: That was pretty cool. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: One county did Christmas decorations with their clover leaves or clover bud kits, and they- John Long: The Clover Shop. Cobie Rutherford: The Clover Shop. John Long: Just say it's the Clover Shop. Cobie Rutherford: So these are kids under 4-HH, so five to seven generally. John Long: Right. Right, right. Cobie Rutherford: Well, they stacked up rolls of toilet tissue and then put two beady eyes and drew some decorations on them, made snowmen for decorations. John Long: I'm not laughing at the exhibit, I'm laughing because I'm remembering how cute it was for sure. Cobie Rutherford: And, they were all good. John Long: Oh, every one of them. Cobie Rutherford: And the agent brought up like 15 of them at the State Fair. I just thought- John Long: If you do one, you're going to do 15. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I just thought to myself how funny they were all stacked in their car driving down the road, beady eyes shaking. That was pretty cute. John Long: That is. That is nice. Cobie Rutherford: I don't know, there were some real creative ... That's just the one that stood out. John Long: What was that other one? Yeah, I don't remember nothing else. You got my mind on the snowmen or the toilet paper snowmen. John Long: What's the shop, I'm just going to say it for Cobie, because some people may not even know what we're talking about, but to the left of that? What's the name of that? That's where they do a safety poster or- Cobie Rutherford: I think that is the health and safety shop. John Long: It is health and safety. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Like say no to drugs posters and things like that. Cobie Rutherford: Right, and that's where we had the first aid kits. They were a part of that shop. John Long: Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. Cobie Rutherford: There were quite a few posters in that shop. This year I think our poster theme for that shop is how 4-H inspires youth to think. So, kind of continuing on with that theme. John Long: That's right. That's good. Cobie Rutherford: and at Congress. John Long: And then, of course, we get the photos that were at Congress that are going to be displayed there. We do that every year. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that'll be- John Long: Those were from Congress, right? Cobie Rutherford: That's right. They submit them at Congress. They were judged sometime this summer, and then we'll display them there. John Long: Cool. Cobie Rutherford: We've got a lot to do between now and then, John. John Long: We do, but it's going to be fun. Now last year, I don't know, we had some other activities for the 4-H day. I know that my son did Lego's. I don't think we're going to be doing that this year. Cobie Rutherford: No, I don't know. Dr. Morgan's going to, she said, come up with something. John Long: Okay, cool. Cobie Rutherford: But you know- John Long: She's creative. Cobie Rutherford: No doubt. Oh my gosh. John Long: Listen to that podcast we had her on. Cobie Rutherford: She has got it figured out. All those STEM activities she puts on. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I know she'll come up with something good. John Long: Great educator for sure. Cobie Rutherford: I know 30,000 Lego's in a tent can be hard to keep up with. John Long: Yeah. Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: So, I'm not sure how we'll do that. John Long: So, we're going to be in a tent this year. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. It's going to be outside of the livestock barns. They told us it's going to be really nice. John Long: That's good. Cobie Rutherford: Air conditioning and 24 hour security out there to protect the exhibits. John Long: So, don't worry about the exhibits. Go ahead and throw that out there. It'll be okay. Cobie Rutherford: And it should increase visibility. I mean, everybody is going to be walking through looking at things. John Long: True. Cobie Rutherford: We've got some pretty cool decorations we're going to use. John Long: Good. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Rest in peace to the village. John Long: We'll have a moment of silence. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: Yeah. I don't know, it won't be much moment of silence. Cobie Rutherford: It aint going to be much. I don't know what's left of it. John Long: Ah, well we always seem to pull it together every year, but this year you don't have to worry about getting ... The blood letting may be less. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: Anybody that's set up fair knows exactly what we're talking about. Cobie Rutherford: That was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun, the comradery last year. John Long: Absolutely. Absolutely. Cobie Rutherford: So Larry's gone, the village is gone. What have we done to 4-H, John? John Long: We're still here. We're still here. We're still green. But anyway, but yeah, it's a good change I think. It's like you said, I think it's going to get a lot more visibility for sure. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think so, too. John Long: Yeah. Thanks to everybody that's making that happen, too. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, no doubt. We're going to be sending out a lot of information over the next few day through social media venues. We've also got National 4-H Week coming up pretty soon. John Long: Oh, yeah we do, don't we? Wow. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. That'll be going on simultaneously with the fair, so we've got to come up with some cool things to do during that week. I know the county agents are getting all the information today. John Long: Oh, well be sure and check your inbox, I guess, for that. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Well, that's awesome. Oh, and fall's going to be in the air. I found out that apparently the first week in September we're supposed to have a cool front move in, so it's going to be more seasonal. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, good. Nice. John Long: So it's going to get everybody in the mood for fair, for sure. Cobie Rutherford: And Starbucks is bringing back the pumpkin spice latte. I saw that. John Long: Do you partake? Cobie Rutherford: You know, I'm not a big coffee person. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: But I do like those. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I will drink a pumpkin spice latte. John Long: I sin, because I drink my coffee black, but I do at least once in October will drink a pumpkin spice latte. So, I know that's shocking. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that shocks me. John Long: Yeah. But I do love those pumpkin spice. Cobie Rutherford: Yep, it's that time of year. John Long: I can't wait. I thought my pumpkins we're not going to make it this year, but I think my pumpkin patch is going to make it, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Cobie Rutherford: Good. John Long: Well all right, all things green, and we've got plenty of 4-H still left in the year and to come. And Cobie, information's going to be sent out, as you said, to the extension offices, but we'll also have it posted on our web page which is- Cobie Rutherford: On the web page and all social media venues. You can find on the website at extension.msstate.edu. John Long: Right, and we've got all kinds of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and everything else. Be sure and check us out there.
