The 11 years that Keara Christensen has put into 4-H have been thoroughly enjoyable. Christensen is in her final year as a member of the Browning 4-H Club. She has met people she wouldn’t have encountered otherwise, made new friends, had great experiences and has put in a lot of time with her animals. “It all just comes together at the end of the year (at the annual sale) and it’s just a huge relief and a payoff,” said Christensen. She’s happy to spend time in the barn with her animals. “They’re different every year, so it’s always a new challenge that I get to do,” she said.
