Upcoming 4-H Events

When you hear the word, “4-H”, what image comes to mind? A green clover? Cows? Goats? What about Food and Nutrition, Citizenship, or Public Speaking? Do you think about Shooting Sports, Photography, or Clothing and Textiles? How about traveling across the country and overseas with fellow 4-H’ers?

There is more to 4-H than showing livestock at the Wise County Youth Fair, or at the major stock shows. To get a better idea of what 4-H is all about, we invite you to join the members of the Wise County 4-H Clubs at 4-H Explosion on Saturday, September 27, 2014. The event will be held at the Weatherford College Campus in between Decatur and Bridgeport on HWY 380. The fun will start at 12 p.m. with a free hotdog lunch and last until 2pm.

Youth will learn about 4-H through fun games and activities. There will be a parent session to go over what 4-H is and how it will help youth grow into leaders. 4-H can also help youth pay for college in the future! Each club will have a booth with information and games, and will be happy to share their experiences with you, or answer any questions you might have concerning 4-H. We will also give families the opportunity to register for 4-H for the 2014-2015 year!

This is a free event the whole family can enjoy. Please contact the Extension Office for more information. 940.627.3341.
