Hi! My name is Luke Osowiecki and I am a member of Granby 4-H. This is my third year in 4-H. I have learned a lot in 4-H, like how to make cheese, how to take better pictures and how to show my dog.
Granby 4-H is fun because we can do activities and learn many things. Sign up night is fun because you can choose the projects you like. We have monthly meetings and then work in project groups like cheesemaking, photography, small engines, animal project groups, LEGOs and more. Last year, I was the community service officer for the club and we did projects to help our community, like having a food drive to help the Granby Food Bank and making ornaments for the residents at MeadowBrook. It was fun to plan these events and to help other people in Granby.
I am also a member of Snoopy’s Pals dog club in Suffield, where I learn to show my dog, Bandit. Last year, I joined the Hartford County 4-H Fair Association, which helps plan our fair every August. I got to help plan all of the events and entertainment, like our touch-a-truck event, mad science and the bands. I raised money for the fair. I was able to show my projects in dogs, booths, LEGOs and photography this year. I learned that it takes a lot of hard work to put together a fair! I think 4-H is a good program that lets me learn new things and grow as a person.
Sign-up for 4-H is 7-8 p.m., Wed., Oct. 4, at the Holcomb Farm Workshop.
