The 2008 Bandera Co. Jr. Livestock Show rule books are now available. There are some rule changes, so be sure to get your copy at your October 4-H club meetings. Rule books are also available at the Extension Office.
After reviewing the current project record forms kids were using for livestock projects and other 4-H projects they were involved, Mr. Thigpen and Ms. Jana put their great minds together to create a more user friendly project record form that can be used for all projects kids are involved in. Download a copy of this form today, as it will be the form that you will be using when getting your bake show and livestock show checks, as well as turning in for photography, shooting sports, dog, etc projects that you are involved in.
For more information or a copy, please call or come by the Extension Office.

I have the distinct pleasure to announce that a Junior
division shooter on the Medina Clay Target-Bandera
County 4-H shotgun team has been selected by the Texas
Parks and Wildlife to participate at the annual State
Expo in Austin the first weekend of October.
He is one of five, top qualifiers this past shooting
season in Whiz-Bang Invitationals throughout the
state. I, in previous comments, noted that he was
rapidly becoming one of the top shooters in his
division is now a reality.
Our team, parents, and coaches give him greatly
deserved congratulations.
