STATE FAIR OF TEXAS - AGRICULTURE AWARENESS DAY

| | Comments (0)
(Formerly Youth Leadership Day)
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2009
 
I wanted to present an opportunity to all of you.  The State Fair of Texas is having an Ag Awareness Day and has invited us to participate.  There is a canned food drive and then an Ag Scavenger Hunt that takes you all over the fair grounds.  There is also a Public Speaking Contest you may enter -- which would probably qualify as an excused absence.   There are prizes for all of these events -- even a $5000 scholarship for Grand Champion of the Public Speaking Contest!  For more coherent information you can go to this link http://www.bigtexlivestock.com/YouthLeadershipDay.aspx .
 
If you would like to attend this event please let me know by September 11th. I will need parents to chaperon and drive so if any of you are willing, please let me know.
 
The tickets for this event, as far as I can tell, are FREE!
 
I hope some of you will be interested!

Attached is a flyer (with location maps) for four scheduled trainings this fall for anyone interested in learning more about the Texas 4-H scholarship application process.  Two will be held in D4 and two in D5.  Please distribute to not only your graduating '09-10 seniors, but also those that are younger would benefit in knowing what they need to do to better prepare themselves.
 
Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
