(Atlantic, Iowa) – More than 90-thousand young Iowans are involved with the 4-H program and this is National 4-H Week, that wraps up this Sunday, with a County 4-H Carnival for the entire family. Cass County Extension 4-H Youth Coordinator Shelby Van Horn says the time is special because it gives them an extra chance to reach new audiences and help kids reach their full potential in 4-H.
The 4-H program empowers young people to make their community a better place to live — be it urban or rural.
Even in these challenging pandemic times, the program is maintaining its popularity. Kindergarten through Third-grade children can be a part of the “Clover Kids” program in Cass County.
Regular 4-H programming is primarily for kids in grades 4-through 12.
In Cass County, they’re wrapping up the week with games and food during a 4-Carnival.
Hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, cotton candy and snow cones are being provided free of charge. Admission is FREE! Game tickets are 10 cents and can be redeemed at 4-H Club Activity Booths. The Carnival takes place on the Cass County Fairgrounds this Sunday, October 10th, from 4-6 PM. There are nearly 15-hundred 4-H clubs statewide being guided by some 7,000 adult volunteers. Learn more about the program at www.4-h.org.

(Radio Iowa) – Third ranked Iowa looks to stay unbeaten by hosting fourth ranked Penn State, today (Saturday). The Iowa defense has forced 16 turnovers already this season but coach Kirk Ferentz says a Nittany Lion offense led by quarterback Sean Clifford will be a challenge.
Ferentz says while the build up to the game is fun it still comes down to performance.
Ferentz says no matter what the outcome there is still half of the regular season yet to play.
We’ll have the pre-game for today’s action at 1-p.m., followed by the kick-off from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, at 3-p.m., on KJAN.
The CAM Cougars were a well oiled machine on Friday night in an 82-22 win over Coon Rapids-Bayard. The Cougars racked up a unbelievable 54 points in the first quarter and led 54-14 at the end of one. That lead would balloon to 74-14 by halftime, and the second half melted away quickly with the running clock in place and both teams mainly keeping the ball on the ground.
The Cougars scored on every possession of the first half and Lane Spieker led the way with another banner night. Spieker racked up 6 touchdowns on the ground, threw for another, and ran a punt back 45 yards for a score. Cade Ticknor added two rushing touchdowns and Gabe Rouse had the final score on the ground for the Cougars. CAM Head Coach Barry Bower was impressed with how well everyone blocked in the run game.
After the game Spieker gave a lot of credit as well to the guys paving the way.
Coon Rapids-Bayard scored on two long passing plays in the first quarter. Tanner Oswald hooked up with Easton Hays for 59-yard and 65-yard scores. Their other touchdown came from Omarion Floyd on a 12 yard run with 1:14 left in the game.
CAM improves to 7-0 on the season and 5-0 in 8-Man District 10. The Cougars finish off the regular season next week with a visit to Boyer Valley. Coach Bower hopes that his team is ready to finish strong.
Coon Rapids-Bayard falls to 3-4 on the season overall and 1-4 in District 10. The Crusaders finish up next week by hosting Exira-EHK.
