JACKSONVILLE —
The 2010 4-H Summer Project Show was held Aug. 14 at the Cherokee County Extension Office. The project show is an opportunity for 4-H members to compete in up to 38 different categories — everything from woodworking to baking, canning, photography, and much more. It gives the participants a lot of room to really pursue their interest. Members are judged on their own performance, not against one another.
This year Cherokee County had nine participants competing in several different categories. Each member did a wonderful job. All Clover Kids received participation ribbons, and this year all older 4-H members earned blue ribbons in their respective categories. We are very proud of each child who participated.
We are very grateful to Mrs. Vera Smith, Mayor Robert Haberle and Tammy Arnwine for judging the event.
All of this years participants are from the Classic 4-H Club, except for David Wingard who is in Look Out 4-H.
The 2010 - 2011 4-H year will begin very soon. If you have a child interested in joining 4-H, or you would like more information, please contact Willie Arnwine at 903-683-5416.
