Remember hot summer days as a child and getting to have ice cream – especially a sundae cone? The best part, besides the ice cream of course, was at the very bottom of the cone there was a bunch of chocolate. That’s the idea where Muddy Bites came from – the best part of a sundae cone.

The Immanuel Lutheran Church Council decided to bring the Elk Point and Jefferson communities together one more time to celebrate summer and the beginning of the school year. A Family Fun Night & BBQ was held the evening of Sunday, Aug. 28.

The Union County Fairboard and Extension Staff would like to congratulate the 4-H members, leaders and parents on all the static and livestock exhibits and Youth-In-Action events that 4-H members participated in at the recent Union County Fair and 4-H Achievement Days. South Dakota 4-H follows the Danish ribbon system. 4-H awards are based on a standard, instead of a comparison of other exhibits in the class. By using the Danish system, each exhibit gets judged on its own merit. Each 4-H members are allowed to take up four display exhibits, four exhibits per each animal species and four exhibits per each Youth-In-Action event to the South Dakota State Fair. The State Fair in Huron is Sept. 1-5.
