4-H August, 2014
On Friday, August 15 at 4:30 p.m. 4-H members, leaders and parents
will be cleaning stalls in the livestock building. We need all the help
we can get. So grab your rakes and shovels and come on out!
Clubs get your truck decorated for the parade on Saturday Aug 23rd.
We want to have a good showing of the 4-H for the parade. We will
be taking pictures of the trucks and voting on them at the 4-H Ban-
quet in November. The club that gets the most votes will get a Pizza
Party. Club leaders and members please support this; it is such a
good way to advertise 4-H.

Communi ty Club The September Community Club meeting would have been on Mon-

in Eureka Springs on Saturday, September 13th. We did this last year
and everyone had a good time. We will start 4-H Night at 6:00 p.m.
You will be able to get one go-cart ride and 18 holes of golf for
$6.00. That is a savings of $8.00 per person. Hope to see you there!

This club will teach different aspects of photography. It will meet
every other month; it will have guest instructors and assignments to
help prepare the members to enter pieces in the County Fair. The
first meeting will be Monday, September 22 at the County Extension
Office or at St. Ann’s depending on how many youth and parents
sign-up. Please give the office a call if you are at all interested in this.
