4-H Clover Chronicle

Greer and Levi represented the 4-H Wildlife Judging Team for a presentation at the Rotary Club of Jefferson. They discussed what wildlife judging, their interest in the subject, and their 2nd place management plan from the state contest.

Special thanks to Assistant County Manager Gina Roy and Extension Agent Greg Pittman for helping coordinate this opportunity.

Our 4-H'ers have been having a blast at summer camps across the state from Burton 4-H Center on Tybee Island to Wilderness Challenge and Senior Camp at Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega. We've got another week to go before our overnight camps wrap up for the year.

Our 4-H'ers had a wonderful time at Council; voting on new amendments to the 4-H Constitution, selecting a new state board of directors, learning about citizenship and we have 3 newly certified Level-1 Teen Leaders (Coleman, Coleman, and Jason)!

Jackson County Archery recently hosted the state tournament for S3DA. This competition brought 86 archers from across Georgia to Jackson County for a day of fun competition.

The 4-H Pantry Pride Contest is upon us. This annual competition challenges youth to create a new, healthy dish utilizing ingredients commonly found in food banks. Entries are added to the Pantry Pride Cookbook, distributed each year to FACS Agents and Food Banks. Senior 4-H'ers (9th-12th graders) who enter the contest have the opportunity to be invited to a live cook-off at the Georgia National Fair.

This year Jackson County 4-H will host its own cook-off on July 22nd. This will give interested students a chance to experiment and perfect their recipes before submitting to the contest.

Space is limited to the first 14 to sign up. Cost is $10 per person.

Contest rules are attached.
