Pipestone County news

Are you interested in learning about the 4-H Shooting Sports & Wildlife Program, especially the competition side of things? Now’s a great time to get involved! The local 4-H Shooting Sports Club is gearing up for indoor practices.

The Pipestone County 4-H Shooting Sports & Wildlife Program helps youth build life skills through a safe, hands-on, and educational experience. Led by certified 4-H volunteer leaders, participants learn by doing: developing marksmanship, responsibility, and an appreciation for wildlife and natural resources.

Are you ready to test your animal science knowledge, build new skills, and work with other 4-H members? Project Bowl and Skillathon are great opportunities for youth to learn, challenge themselves, and have fun while exploring animal science!

The Pipestone County 4-H Leaders Council Scholarship recognizes outstanding youth who have demonstrated exceptional involvement, leadership, and commitment throughout their 4-H careers. These scholarships are awarded annually to active 4-H members pursuing post-secondary education and who have made meaningful contributions to their clubs, communities, and the Pipestone County 4-H program.

The Pipestone County 4-H annual fundraiser wrapped up on February 26 with pickup and deliveries on March 20; we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our 4-H families, youth, and supporters who made this year’s fundraiser a success!

This year, 4-H members sold MinnTex Fruit & Snacks, Ole & Lena's Pizza & Products, Wooden Spoon Cookie Dough, and Rustic Oasis Artisan Bread. Funds raised through this effort help support local 4-H programs, including events, camps, leadership opportunities, scholarships, and more throughout the year.
