4-H HOLIDAY CARD CONTEST
4-H members, if art is your thing, we have a contest for you. All budding artists are encouraged to create a drawing for the Georgia 4-H Holiday Card Artwork Contest. Entries must be turned in to the Coffee County 4-H office by 4 p.m. on September 30. The rules are: drawing must be student’s original work and drawn on an 8½ x 5½ inch (or 5½ x 8½ inch) sheet of white, unlined paper; it must include 4‑H in the theme and be a universal holiday theme; it must be colorful; it must be accompanied by an official entry form available from the 4‑H office. If you don’t follow these rules, the drawing will be disqualified.
All 4‑H members are eligible to participate. Please contact the 4-H staff at 912-384-1402 if you have any questions about this contest.
4-H TARGET SPORTS SIGN UP
4-H tries to offer a wide range of target sports programs for 4-H members each year. Programs available include: Archery (4th – 12th grade), 22 Rifle (9th – 12th grade), Air Rifle & Air Pistol (7th – 12th grade), BB Rifle (4th – 8th grade), and Shotgun (7th – 12th grade). Sign up for the Target Sports Programs begins now and will end on Thursday, September 15 at 5 p.m.
These programs are dependent on volunteers to organize and run them. If you know of an adult who would like to help with one of the programs, please have them contact the 4‑H office at 384-1402.
A Certified Coaches Training will be held at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center in December and in January. Interested adults need to sign up now so that you can complete all of the necessary volunteer paperwork.
If you have questions about the Coffee County Extension or 4-H program, please feel free to contact the Coffee County Extension office at (912) 384-1402. Remember, we are YOUR local connection to the University of Georgia.
