Former Freeborn County Agent, Eldon Senske, stated, "4-H is about purple ribbon kids not purple ribbon animals and projects."

Theodore Roosevelt said, "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."

The 750 members of the Freeborn County 4-H clubs believe in their 4-H Motto: Head, Heart, Hands and Health.

They worked hard to prepare and present some of the best projects for the Freeborn County Fair Aug. 2-7.

The Freeborn County 4-H Club organization consists of 17 clubs: Albert Lea, Alden, Bath-Geneva, Conger, Freeborn, Freeman, Hartland, Hayward, Mansfield, Moscow, Myrtle, Nunda, Oakland, Riceland, Shell Rock, Twin Lakes, Willing Workers.
