Horse Bowl Interest for the 2017 Contest
I would like to know who is interested in participating in Horse Bowl this year. Horse Bowl is a trivia based competition for youth ages 8-19.The youth are divided into age categories and then placed on teams. The teams are divided by ages (8-10yr), (11-13yr), and (14-19yr). It usually takes place on the Second Saturday of March in Kent County. Most teams will start practicing in November; and then practice weekly starting in January.
If you would like to be on a team this year, please send your name, age, email address, and phone number to Jodie Gravenor. We would like to get all information of interested youth; then set up a date for getting our teams together. If you would like any other information, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you!
Jodie Gravenor,
Chairperson for Sussex County Horse Bowl Teams

Diamond Clover Award – 2016-2017 Intent Forms DUE November 23
Delaware 4-H members are eligible to participate in the Diamond Clover Award program. Delaware 4-H adopted the Diamond Clover Award in 2011 from a program used in Maryland and Nebraska. This award will be the highest level of recognition that a Delaware 4-H member can achieve. It is similar to the Boy Scout Eagle Award or the Girl Scout Gold Award. The Diamond Clover Award consists of six levels, each steadily advancing in intensity and achievement over the last. It is intended to take a 4-H member six years to complete. The nice thing about this award is that many 4-H members are already doing the work, so all you need to do is fill out the forms and submit them. For other 4-H members, this award can provide you with a long-term challenge for your 4-H career.
