September was a crazy month for the Cass 4-H Program in terms of schedules. October is kicking off there are lots of deadlines coming up!
Livestock Projects- Don't forget to schedule your project visits with me! I need to come and visit your animal projects about every 6 weeks. It doesn't have to be a long drawn out visit, but I do want to see them and all of the hardwork you are putting in! October 22nd is the date for Fall Heifer and Goat validation. It will be held at Linden Kildare High School from 4-6pm. I have the forms available in my office if you would like to come by and get them to fill out early. If you have a registered heifer, make sure you have sent me a photocopy of your heifers registration papers. If you are showing at the Major Shows in 2019, I need your FORT WORTH entries by November 1st. All checks need to be made out to the Cass 4-H Fund so that we can write one check from the county. The Cass County Junior Livestock Show is coming up quickly. If you have an animal project, you may want to reach out to your buyers to remind them of the quickly approaching show. If you are showing cattle at the Cass County Cattleman's Association Show, there is a meeting on October 9th at the Expo Center in Atlanta. We will have hosting a horse project information night on October 25th. It will be in our Hwy 8 office. You do not need a horse to participate in this project area. If you are interested, please join us! There is also a beginners horse judging workshop in Commerce on November 3rd. If anyone is interested in going to this please let me know so I can get you registered. Family and Community Health Projects- We are hosting a Pie Contest at the Project Party. The Rubric will be posted below. The District 4 Photography contest entries must be registered on 4-H Connect by Friday, November 2nd. You can enter up to 10 photographs. We have matte board available in the office and are here if you need help dry mounting your photographs. I will need you photopraphs mounted and labeled with the correct label form (we also have those available in the office or can email them.) General 4-H News- 4-H Week is next week. To celebrate Ally Hamilton, Morgan Cooper, and Travon Grant will be talking about their 4-H experiences on KPYN, Tuesday October 9th at 9:30. If you can, try to listen! The project party is on October 13th. We have lots of fun activities planned for this day, so please join us! The 4-H Program Area Committee meeting is October 29th at 5 pm in my office. Make sure that your club is represented! Congratulations- Our 4-H members did really great at the 4-States Fair! Check out the 4-H Newsletter or the Cass County Sun for details on their performance. This week, the Hope 4-H Club competed in their first wildlife contest of the season. Tymber Reust placed 5th overall individually and the Hope team place 2nd overall. We are very well represented by this group!
