Past Events
We have finally got our response back about our litter barrel, and the Westville 4-H club got 1st place! Congratulations everyone! Our club put a lot of thought and dedication into this contest, so we are very proud of our members. Horse bowl was also 4/15 – 4/24, and it was virtual. We had a few members participate in that, and they enjoyed themselves. Horticulture judging and wildlife judging were on the 27th, and some members also participated in that as well. Once again, we hope all had fun and enjoyed their time being able to judge those resources.
New Events
May was a very eventful month! Since the fair is right around the corner us kids and adults have a lot of work and other things to do. On May 15th, there were tagging availabilities down at the Delaware State Fairgrounds. Many of our members went and tagged our animals for the fair and can officially say that animals are closer and closer to being ready for the fair. This past weekend was the Jackpot show and the Kent County Livestock show. Many of our members participated so we could get the practice in, and we all enjoyed getting back into the groove of things. The Horse judging contest was also on the 22nd, and if I remember correctly, we have a few members that also participated in that. Good luck to those who participated; we hope you all had fun. Well, that’s just a little taste of what 4-H had going on in the Month of May, and so you’ll hear from me again next month.
