September 2009 Archives

Any of you that are 14-17 and no farther than your Junior Year in High School are eligible to run in the Calf Scramble at the Fort Worth Exposition and Livestock Show.  Participants that catch a calf are awarded a $500 scramble certificate to be used for the purchase of a calf.  All Participants receive a free t-shirt and cap and those participants that don't actually catch a calf are given a free pair of boots, courtesy of the Justin Boot Company.  We can sign up 6 members, so the first 6 to respond to me will get the opportunity.  4 are definite runners and the other 2 are alternates, so hurry and make sure you're one of the 4 that get to run.  E-mail me at mcpreston@ag.tamu.edu, or call me at the office at 903 737 2443 and we'll get you signed up.

Any 4-H Members interested in the Archery Project should attend the FIRST Archery Project meeting which will be held Thursday September 17th at the Archers For Christ Archery Range.  The meeting and practice will start at 6:30pm.  If you don't know how to get to the Range or need any other information please shoot me an e-mail or give me a call.  Hope I see a bunch of y'all ou there.

                                                 

Howdy!

I have spoken to our Rifle Project Leader, Mr. Osbourne, and he has set the first meeting of the year to be held at 6:00pm on Thursday September 24th @ the Extension Office.  Any and all who are interested in participating in the Rifle Project should attend this meeting as he will be covering Rifle and range safety as well as polling the attendees on what days and times work best to have Rifle Practice.  If you have any questions, please e-mail me or call the office.  I hope we have a big turn out and get the Rifle Project going STRONG in 2009-2010.

Howdy!

I know some of you may have heard and some of you not, but 4-H enrollment for 09-10 is going to be completely online.  If you are reading this blog, you must be on a computer, so go on over to the Texas 4-H Website, and sign up through 4-H Connect.

I am attaching the manuals that give you step by step instructions on how to create a family profile and register members.  If you have any questions, please don't think twice about calling the 4-H Office.  Our number is 903-737-2443.  If you would prefer you can contact me directly by e-mail at mcpreston@ag.tamu.edu, or our wonderful office manager Betty at lamar@ag.tamu.edu.  Thanks for getting registered and I'm really looking forward to a successful year in the Lamar County 4-H.
