The new 4-H year starts on September 1st, and it is such an exciting time! This time of year, extension offices are busy gearing up all of their program plans for the upcoming seasons. This year, we have lots of great oppotunities planned for the young people of our county. To start the year, our 4-H members are participating in a program to honor our county's veteran's called the "Veteran's Salute." Our 4-H members will have a community service booth where they are going to hand out cold bottles of water to the visitors of this event. We are also going to be hosting a record book work night and a photography project workshop to help our 4-H members to hone their skills in these specific areas. Durign September we will also be validating steers and commercial heifers that will be shown at the Cass County Cattleman's Association Spring Shows. Check your 4-H emails and the 4-H newsletter for more specific information about times and dates. October brings 4-H week to us, which is a huge cause for celebration. Did you know that the 4-H gives out over $2 million is scholarships annually? During October, we will participate in the 4-H Clover Sale with our local Tractor Supply Company store. The money raised from the clovers that are sold will benefit 4-H members from our county as they work to develop their leadership skills. We are also going to be hosting a Project Party during October, which is designed to help 4-H members, new and old, to learn more about what can be considered a project through the 4-H club. We will also have many 4-H members participating at stockshows all over the East Texas Region with their animal and FCH projects. This will be a busy but exciting time for our 4-H members as they begin a year of hard work and dedication to their futures.
