Evenson Hired as Richland Co. 4-H Extension Agent

Josie Evenson started her duties as Richland County Extension agent in charge of 4-H on Wednesday, September 5. Although this is her first professional position, she brings extensive experience with 4-H having interned at both the State and Lake County 4-H offices the past five years. Evenson received her Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Education with an emphasis on extension from MSU.

Evenson is excited to be in Sidney and is looking forward to meeting everyone involved with 4-H. She will start out by getting to know the kids, their parents and volunteer community members. She wants to discover what the wants and needs are and also get to know what is, or is not, available in the area. “It becomes just giving it your all, to make those wants and needs come true. It’s just hard to know what those needs are yet,” she said. “I’m just excited about the opportunity. I want to get to work, to jump in head first, and meet everyone. I know there is a great program here, with great parents and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with every one.”
