Cheyenne, Jillian, Sidney & Karsen hang out on the bunks at Rock Springs.

Post Rock attendees were asked what the liked best about the forum and Rock Springs Ranch:

• Jillian Worm: “Meeting new people.  You get to experience what others like.  I also like the food at Rock Springs.”

• Emily Cox: “I enjoyed KYLF because I lead a fantastic and crazy group.  I learned that if you fail keep on trying.  My favorite part of Rock Springs is the scenery.”

• Karsen Odle: “I had fun at KYLF because I got to see my best friend and meet new people.  I don’t have a favorite part of Rock Springs…I love everything about it.  It is like my “second home in 4-H”.

• Sidney Odle:  “At KYLF I was able to meet new people.  This was my first year to go.  I had a blast.  I love Rock Springs and everyone who works there.  I definitely will come back.”

• Seth Hachmeister:  “My favorite part was my group and meeting members of council I’ll be serving with.  I absolutely love the Rock Springs staff and food.  It is the greatest.”

• Cheyenne Nelson:  “My favorite part was the food and getting to meet new people.  I love how everyone was so energetic and exciting.”
