Congratulations

I would like to congratulate all of the exhibitors at the 4-H Livestock show. Everyone did a great job with their animals, and all of the inside entries were great.
Congratulations to the Hoof beats 4-H club on winning best of show on their club wreath. Everyone had a lot of fun on the Family fun day, with the races and egg toss game (even though it became a little messy.)

I would also like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the 4-H Livestock Show a great success.


Paper work for County events and KYCG are completed. Make sure to ask your leader for the forms if you are interested in participating, and return them to the Extension office before the deadline.

Intermediate State (Leadership Adventure Weekend) is a weekend-long event for 11-13 year-old Intermediate 4-H'ers from across Florida to participate in fun leadership workshops and other activities. This year’s event is going to be held at Camp Ocala from February 18-20, 2011 and our theme is “Health Rocks”. We have a great group of Senior 4-H'ers (aged 14-18) planning this event and teach the workshops and activities, including mock legislature and Health Rocks fun activities, informing youth of the numerous benefits to serving and leading in 4-H. See http://florida4h.org/events/Int_State.shtml and stay tuned for our promotional video that will be posted on this website.
