Texas 4-H will be 100 years old starting September 1, 2007! For a century, kids across Texas have been learning, leading, and having fun in 4-H. In 4-H, you learn the value of helping your community, the importance of being a great leader, and, at the same time, you have fun.4-H provides youth from ages 9 (or 8 and in the 3rd grade) to 18 the experience to travel, work with other youth, participate in positive competitive experiences, and develop at the rate they want. Is 4-H for you? Yes, 4-H is for everyone, from those in the biggest Texas city to the smallest community. For the young person that wants to learn about computers to the teenager that wants to travel around the country. 4-H allows you to "Make it Yours".
The Kaufman County 4-H members participated in the County Hay Show by showing their club spirit. The 4-H clubs used their creativity decorating bales of hay like birthday cakes. Up for grabs was a pizza party for the winning display sponsored by the County 4-H Council.
Participating 4-H clubs were the Scurry Rosser 4-H club, the Silver Spurs 4-H Horse Club, Kaufman 4-H, and the Green Machine 4-H club of Forney.
Placing 1st was the Scurry Rosser 4-H Club (Top) and 2nd was Kaufman 4-H (Bottom). Congratulations on the great spirit for 100 years in 4-H!!
