When the Idaho County Courthouse re-opened for business on Wednesday, April 29th,
some employees were requesting masks. With the shortage of
supplies, masks are hard to find. I put out a request to our
Idaho County 4-H Clubs and by Monday morning we had over 50 masks
available, with more on the way! Special thanks to Linda Kern of
Riggins, Loreen Lees of White Bird, Mary Uhlorn of Cottonwood, Tristan
Uhlorn of Cottonwood and all of the other 4-H’ers who offered their
help! Call Susie Heckman at the Idaho County Extension Office if you
are in need of a mask and can’t find one. Pictured is Tristan Uhlorn,
son of Brent and Tanis Uhlorn. He is a member of the Cottonwood
Saddliers & Livestock 4-H Club. Click on the photo for a larger
