H&N Staff WriterIt was 12-year-old Thomas’ first 4-H project, and it was 11-year-old Kirstin’s first for-sale project.With just a few days left until the Klamath County Fair, the Volk children had high hopes for the standard bronze turkeys they had been raising since March. They hoped the turkeys would help offset the cost of raising their rabbits and chickens for show.But when the family went to feed the turkeys Friday morning, they discovered the 4-H projects had been stolen from the backyard of their Crest Street home.
And then...the next day this headline.

Two children whose 4-H turkeys were stolen late last week will take stand-in turkeys to the Klamath County Fair. Although police have yet to identify who took the turkeys, a good Samaritan donated a male and female white turkey to Thomas and Kirstin Volk.“We had a lot of people call to donate turkeys,” their mother Robbin Volk said.
I love that this is our news, not that this is happening, but I love that this is headline news for us. Bad things are happening. Very bad things are happening, and in Klamath Falls 4-H Turkeys are being stolen.
Okay, okay, you're right. There are some good things about this town. :)
ReplyDeleteOh...you make me laugh. I am still laughing at the vision of you running with all of the farm animals running too-and scaring the goats! Hope your sick turkey is doing better.
