Kaster retires after 21 years in 4-H

After the 2008 Sioux County Youth Fair, Ann Kaster wrapped up her 21st and final year as a 4-H leader.  According to Kaster, the time spent in the organization has been fun and rewarding, but she's not finished with 4-H yet.

In 1987, Kaster replaced Gayla Tiedemann as one of the Hull Clovers 4-H Club leaders.  Kaster worked with Karen Wesselink for three years until she retired and then Bev Sheldahl joined Kaster for 15 years until Linda Landman replaced Sheldahl.

Throughout that time Kaster's four daughters participated in 4-H from fourth through twelfth grade.  This year, when her youngest, AmberLea, finished her last year of 4-H, Kaster knew it was her turn to step down.

Trinity Christian High School to take shape this year

“We are very thankful for all the years that Western has served our students and our children”
