Each year we like to take
the thoughts of our 4-H’ers
and Parents about the past
TNLS and put an effort to
change some of the con-
cerns and issues you may
have with the show. This is
your time to do so. Please
put your request in writing
via, email or by dropping
your suggestions by the of-
fice in writing. I have
many already!
