Dear 4-H Members and Families,

This is a reminder that Texas 4-H Congress is still accepting early bird registration until the end of the month.  This program is open to youth in 9^th to 12^th grades during the event which takes place July 22^nd to 25^th, 2018.   Tarrant County has the right to send two delegates, however if we do not use both spots, they will be given to youth from other counties.  If you are interested in attending, it is best to reserve a spot now before the early registration period ends.  For more information please visit https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/events/congress/  and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office. 

Thank you.

We are busy planning our 4^th Annual Youth Agricultural Lifetime Leadership (YALL)Tour in 2018. The tour has been a tremendous success the past three years with 70+ youth participating. We have decided to open the application up state-wide to include all 4-H members throughout Texas an opportunity to participate. This year’s tour will be July 15-20, 2018. We will be touring South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley area, providing youth the opportunity to witness agriculture production and issues related to agriculture production including everything from immigration to hurricanes to fever ticks.  The tour will depart from the Kerr County Extension office in Kerrville on July 15^th and return to the Kerr County Extension office on July 20^th. The cost to the participants for the 6 days is $200 each with a $100 deposit submitted with the application. 4-H members who are high school sophomores through graduating seniors are eligible to apply. We are limited to 30 participants and will notify all applicants by July 2 by email as to if they have been selected.   (more…)
