National 4-H Week

National 4-H Week is taking place October 7 - 13, 2012! Jones County 4-H has lots planned for that week : )
First the tee shirt design contest: All 4-Hers are encouraged to submit a design that will be judged. The winners in each age category will receive "cloverbucks" (all cloverbud entries will receive cloverbucks)! Then all the top designs will be judged for an overall winner to decide whose design will be put on the next Jones Co. 4-H tee shirt, the overall winner will receive their tee shirt for free!

Essay competition: All 4-Hers are encouraged to write an essay of at least 250 words on a favorite 4-H memory or what it means to you to be in 4-H. Essays can either be typed or handwritten, typed essays can be emailed to me! 

Entries for the two National 4-H Week competitions are due to me by Friday, October 5, so the winners can be announced during National 4-H Week! 

During National 4-H week we will be welcoming 2 new clubs to the 4-H family a cloverbud club for youth in grades K - 3 at Comfort Elementary School and club for middle school students at Jones Middle School! The cloverbud club will have their first meeting on Tues. Oct. 9 and the middle school club will have their first meeting on Thurs. Oct. 11. Very excited to have these two new groups :) 
Jones County 4-H will also be participating in the National 4-H Week Science Experiment - the Eco Bots! For details or to have the experiment at one of your club meetings, please contact Erin Morgan Jones Co. 4-H Agent! 

Don't forget the Coastal Carolina Agricultural Fair and State Fair will start during National 4-H Week! I am willing to take fair exhibits to the Coastal Carolina Ag. Fair for any 4-Her or volunteer wishing to enter items. Please have all items in my office by Tuesday, October 9, at 4:30pm! 
Good luck to all Jones Co. 4-H Livestock Club members who will be showing animals at the state fair! We know all of you will be great representatives of Jones Co. 4-H :)
