2024 Houston Calf Scramble Entries Needed

Sent, 

Dear 4-H Members and Families,

We have received your online entries for your 2024 HLSR scramblers.  This is a call for a second wave of entries, as our waitlist is beginning to dwindle.  If you have additional students that would like to scramble at the 2024 show, please have them complete the application (with all signatures and notarization) and e-mail it back to me.  Make sure they put ALL dates they are available, so that I can get them scheduled as soon as something becomes available.  The Scramble entries are still open on our Jr entries website, as well.  Please make sure to enter them online.  In order for your Scrambler’s entry to be valid, I must have an online entry AND completed application, in hand, before I can assign them a date.

2024 Calf Scramble Application

Please note that all scrambles are currently full, which means that this entry will be a waitlisted entry.  Placement is determined by entry number.  Scramblers have already begun to drop so please get your kiddos on the waitlist as soon as possible.

For those already entered and assigned a date, you and your scrambler will be receiving parking and grounds pass packets in the mail in mid-February.  Please be on the lookout for those.  You will receive a packet at your school and your Scrambler’s packet will be mailed to their home address.

Once again, thank you for your continued support of the HLSR Calf Scramble Program and we look forward to seeing you at the show!

Tandy Leather 4-H Workshop Opportunities

Sent, 

To The 4-H of Tarrant County,

For more than 100 years Tandy Leather has been inspiring people to make their mark in leather crafting by providing materials needed to create one-of-a-kind projects. No matter if you are new to the craft or a seasoned professional, Tandy Leather is a trusted brand in the leathercrafting community.

Much like 4H, we aim to inspire creativity and foster lifelong passions. Our Fort Worth Flagship store is the perfect location to explore your interest in leather crafting and further develop your skills through our classes and events. You’ll feel like a pro in our Maker Space where you’ll have access to all the tools you’ll need while crafting, including our Tandy Pro Series Tools, and be able to walk away with your finished project ready to show off. No matter your skill level, we’d love to have you come and experience what leatherworking is all about as we #leathertogether.

Our Fort Worth Flagship location can host groups as small as five and can accommodate groups of up to fifty.  Needing a space to host a meeting? We can help you with that as well! Our large executive meeting space above the Al and Ann Stohlman Museum allows groups a more private setting. With full audio-visual connections this space is the perfect location to host your next meeting.

If you are interested in a private group class or looking for a place to host your next meeting, we hope that you will consider the Fort Worth Tandy Leather Flagship.  For reservations or to ask about meeting space availability, contact the store directly.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Eric Adams
