2017 Multi County Camp

2017 4-H Multi-County Camp “EXPLORE 4-H!” is this year’s theme. The campers will experience 4-H projects & how they relate to the theme. Camp will be held at Lakeview Baptist Encampment in Lone Star Texas on July 10-12, 2017. We have a lot of fun activities and events planned. A $115.00 (non-refundable) registration fee and your camp forms are due to the fill in Kaufman County Extension Office by deadline May 26^th.

Some of this years workshops include “Fun with Food”, Archery, Robotics, Nature, Healthy Lifestyles and of course the ROPES stations.

26 Days and Counting for Horse Validation Deadline

Horse Project Validation

Validation will be open March 1^st – May 1^st, at $10 per validation until April 15^th and $20 from April 16 until May 1.  Please remind your horse families that:

·         horses must be validated in 4-H Connect every year.

·         Only one validation per horse each year is necessary (horses do not need to be validated under each siblings name)

·         If the horse is registered then the registration papers must be uploaded during validation.  The uploaded papers must be legible and the owner must be listed as the 4-Her, or a member of the 4-Hers immediate family (parent, sibling, grandparent, legal guardian).  A bill of sale or a signed transfer request will NOT suffice.  Families should apply for and receive the corrected papers prior to uploading in 4-H Connect.

·         If the horse is grade (unregistered) then the field designated for the upload of registration papers should be left blank. 

·         Pictures need to be a visual representation of the horses color and markings (head and legs must be visible in right and left profile images and lighting should be sufficient to determine coat color)
