Bread Baking Contest Rules

OK - the contest for the 4-H Club Meetings for March is Bread Baking!! There are only 2 categories: biscuits and cornbread. So, this contest is designed to give you some basic practice in baking/cooking - there's no fancy category for this contest. It's OK to get help - just make sure you are doing most everything related to baking your bread.
You can always call our office if you have any questions. I'm posting the rules, right out of your yearbooks - just in case you (gasp) lost or misplaced that invaluable piece of 4-H memorabilia! ;)

Chester County 4-H Public Speaking

This post is long overdue - the county Public Speaking contest was February 7th at the Brown-Kopel building at Freed Hardemen University. It was just the beginning of a very bad sinus infection for me - that's why the photos are not posted! I missed the window of opportunity to update our blog with Public Speaking pictures - sorry!





The Sub-regional 4-H Public Speaking contest is tomorrow night in Jackson at 4pm. Representing 5th grade will be Mary Emilee Lussier, representing 6th grade will be Talia Hinson , representing 7th grade will be Jessica Lindsey, and representing 8th grade will be Rachel Leach. Good Luck everyone!

Summer Camp 2009

Some of you may have heard that the 4-H Center in Milan is closing. This is true.

However, we will still get to go to camp this Summer - in Columbia, TN instead!!

The W.P. Ridley 4-H Center is beautiful!! Check out their site

Also, the date has changed to the first week of June for 4th-6th grades. 6th-8th grades can also go to Junior High Camp that first week of July.

We're really excited about getting to camp in our new location. The price should be about the same - close to $210.00

Our bus ride will be a bit longer though - about 2 hours!

We'd like to hear your opinions about it!

February Contest

The contest for February 4-H Clubs in Chester County is "Models". While we typically see cars, models are just scaled down versions of something large. I have also seen models of a plant and animal cell, so they can also be scaled up versions of something microscopic! The rules and judging criteria are in your yearbook - but for those of you unfortunate folks whose "dog ate their yearbook", I will re-post that page here!



The 4-H Club at CCHS will meet tomorrow during Activity Period. CCMS 4-H Clubs will meet February 10th and 12th. I'll update the blog as soon as we schedule the dates at CCJHS. Even though 7th graders will be enjoying the "On My Own" activity, we will still collect & judge your models!
