2nd Annual 4-H Day at Cyclone Women’s Basketball Is Feb. 27

4-H youth from across the state of Iowa are welcome once again to attend an Iowa State University women’s basketball game. 4-H'ers have an opportunity to see the Cyclone women take on Kansas State University on Feb. 27. Tip-off for the game is at 7 p.m. that Saturday in Hilton Coliseum.

“We hope that 4-H clubs will take advantage of this opportunity to come to Ames, visit the state 4-H office, see the Iowa State University campus, and of course, cheer on the Cyclones,” said Shelly Greving of the Iowa 4-H Foundation.

For $15, 4-H'ers receive game admission, an exclusive 4-H Cyclone T-shirt and a pregame tailgate party at the Extension 4-H Building on the ISU Campus. The pregame tailgate will feature a pork meal donated by the Iowa Pork Producers Association. Additionally, the price includes a $2 donation to the Iowa 4-H Foundation.

“This is a great way to show dual support for the Iowa 4-H Foundation as well,” said Greving. The Iowa 4-H Foundation finances many 4-H programs including scholarships, 4-H camps and National 4-H Conference.

This is the second annual 4-H Day at Cyclone Women’s Basketball. Last year the event brought around 1,000 4-H members, volunteers, staff and alumni to Ames for the evening, explained Greving.

“We are looking to be close to the 1,000 mark in attendance again this year,“ said Greving. “Anyone associated with 4-H is welcome to attend to make this a great showing for Iowa’s 4-H program.”

For tickets to the game go to the ISU Extension Online Store at http://tinyurl.com/4hisuwbb. Tickets must be purchased by Feb. 1. Tickets and T-shirts must be picked up at the tailgate party prior to the game on Feb. 27 from 5- 6:30 p.m.

Story County Milford Hustlers 4-H History

Story County 4-H volunteers are hard at work this summer compiling photos, stories and contacts from their history. They have been sharing those photos and stories with the 4-H Foundation and we'd like to share them with you. Here are photos that were pulled from the book Milford Twp and Proud of It! by authors Dale Hughes and Jurine Borton (Moore). Both are former Story County 4-H'ers from the Milford Hustlers in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The photos are from Milford Township 4-H clubs in the late 1930's-1960's.
