Mill Creek was started in September 2003, so it is a fairly new 4-H Club.   This club feels that strong young child development is important and encourages their member’s project work to reflect quality rather than quantity.  

Mill Creek 4-H Club members see themselves as friendly and open to suggestions and change.  They participate in many activities, but do not force anyone to join in.

The Mill Creek 4-H Club participates in a variety of social and recreational activities including:

• Potlucks
• Picnics
• Kickball
• Dodge ball
• ME Trips
• Tundra Swan Watch
• Action City
• Sorting Watkins products for our annual fundraiser
• County Fair!
• 4-H club meetings

The Mill Creek 4-H Club feels community service is important and takes part in these activities:

• Sorting all the Watkins products for our annual fundraiser
• Preparing and serving a meal to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester, MN.
• Cleaning up the County Fair exhibit buildings in preparation for the Fair.

The Mill Creek 4-H Club members take advantage of these educational opportunities to learn and to grow:

• Action City
• Buffalo County Fair
• Club meetings
• Tundra Swan Watch

Each year, the Mill Creek 4-H Club members join in the fundraising activities that are selected by the 4-H Leaders’ Association.  There are currently two main fundraising activities each year: 

1. Watkins Products in the fall
2. Club’s Choice food products in the spring/summer
