4-H educator updates commissioners; shooting sports and old ice arena discussed
Summary
Codington County 4-H educator Jody updated commissioners on the new 4-H year, enrollment deadlines and shooting sports programming; commissioners and a 4-H representative discussed the old ice arena as a potential shooting sports venue and said the city-led committee is evaluating options.
Jody, the county 4‑H educator, told commissioners the new 4‑H year began Oct. 1, enrollment is open, and award applications are due to the county office. She announced a 4‑H recognition event scheduled for Oct. 26 in the North Expo and said Cloverbuds (ages 5–7) and members ages 8–18 have regular program cycles. The shooting sports volunteer program is preparing to start another cycle with archery and BB gun, air pistol or rifle programming.
During the presentation and later public-comment exchanges, commissioners and Jody discussed the old ice arena as a potential site for 4‑H shooting sports. Jody said a 4‑H committee member serves on the city's working group examining the facility. Commissioners said the city is conducting assessments of recreational buildings and that county representation on relevant committees could be requested; commissioners suggested contacting city staff to secure a seat for county or 4‑H representation if desired.
No formal county action was taken on programming or facility reuse; the discussion was informational and commissioners encouraged coordination between county 4‑H volunteers and the city committee evaluating the old ice arena.
