Meet our new 4-H Instructor!
Hello, my name is Ashlyn Roelle and I am excited to serve as the new Extension Instructor for Cheyenne and Deuel Counties. I grew up in Sidney, NE where I participated in 4-H showing horses, pigs, and static exhibits. I completed my Bachelors in Agriculture Animal Science at the University of Central Missouri where I was a part of Agriculture Club, Collegiate Farm Bureau, and the Agriculture Honors Society. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and pets. I look forward to working closely with area residents, schools, producers, and volunteers to strengthen existing programs and develop new opportunities that meet local needs.

Clover Kids
Get ready for hands-on fun, creativity, and discovery—Clover Kids programming is returning! We’ll meet once a month from January through May, and the best part? There’s no cost to participate!
Clover Kids is open to all youth ages 5–7 as of January 1, and each meeting is designed to spark curiosity through games, activities, and learning by doing. At our first meeting, kids will jump right in by using science, creativity, and experimentation to solve a fun problem—it’s learning that feels like play! 🧪🎨✨
While participation is free, please RSVP to the Extension Office so we can make sure we have enough supplies for everyone.
Come join the fun, make new friends, and explore the world the Clover Kids way!
