Hey everyone!

Summer is over but we have a great 4-H year ahead of us.

This summer was great! We had tons of activities and fun going on throughout the summer and an awesome summer finale!

Keep updated with our 4-H newsletter for upcoming events and for what's going on in our clubs.

Have a great school year everyone, and a great 4-H year as well.

School's starting, summer's over and 4-H is still in full gear!

Hey all....summer is over BUT 4-H is not!  We still have activities happening in Stokes County!  We are using what we learned to get ready for the Stokes County Fair coming up September 12-17.  Many 4-H'ers are showing sheep and goats after learning about the process during summer programs!

As well, many are signing up to help raise money for 4-H during our annual 4-H fair fundraiser!  We will be selling sweet tea and facepainting and passing out information about 4-H!

Also National 4-H week is October 2-8, and we'll be ending that week at a festival in Sandy Ridge!  Ridgefest will be a great event for everyone!

If you are interested in helping with these activities, contact the 4-H office!

Get yourself ready for some activities and workshops coming up in the fall, and look into joining a 4-H club!

Nutrition Fair Alert!

Hey everybody!  My name is Charity, and I am your newly elected County Council reporter. I'm here to tell you about the upcoming  Taste of 4-H Nutrition Fair.  If you have never been to or participated  in Nutrition Fair,  now is  your chance!   All you need to do is come up with a healthy, amazing recipe to submit.  But, you don't have a lot of time left, so all you need to do is submit your recipe and registration by March 7th. Rules and entry info can be found at http://stokes.ces.edu/  under 4-H Youth Development. There are several categories to chose from: bread, dessert, beverage, salad/vegetables, main dish, and snack.  You need to dress the part.  Bring a table cloth, table settings, along with small plates and utensils for the judges.  It also helps if you have a theme or centerpiece for your table.  This year is even better, because we're inviting the community to come out and taste all the dishes!  We are asking them to drop loose change as they taste the creations then all the chefs will go home with a special treat.  All the recipes will go into a cookbook so you can make them at home.

The 4-H Nutrition Fair will be held on Thursday, March 10th at 6:00pm at a TBD location.

Hope to see all of you there!
