National 4-H Week 2016

This year, we are celebrating National 4-H Week, October 2-8. As always, National 4-H Week coincides with the Dixie Classic Fair. We have 4-H booths in the Education Building, 4-H Christmas Trees in the Yesteryear Village, and 4-H'ers that are showing beef cattle and sheep. Of course, there are lots of 4-H crafts, breads, vegetables, and flowers that our 4-H members have entered as well in the education, agriculture and flower buildings.

Tuesday: Watch Forsyth County 4-H Extension Agent, April Bowman, on the Noon News at WXII 12 as she talks about National 4-H Week.

Wednesday: Tractor Supply will begin their Paper Clover sale, and continue through October 16th. This year the proceeds will benefit 4-H camp and leadership scholarships. Just add $1.00 (or more) at checkout at either the Rural Hall or Clemmons TSC locations!

Other ways to celebrate:

• Send a thank you note to someone who’s done something nice for you.
• Wear 4-H t-shirts and gear! If you don’t have any, just wear green!
• Give 4-H a shout out on social media! Tag 4-H'ers you know and use the hashtag #trueleaders. If you are a 4-H alum, tell us your story and use the hashtag #4Hgrown. Please use #ForsythNC4H too so that we know you posted!
