HUERFANO- Congratulations to Steven Garcia and Ariel Jameson who are the new 4-H Ambassadors.
Horse Entries for fair are due July 17th and can be turned in at the extension office at the Walsenburg Community Center. July 27th is the cutoff date for member in good standings.
In upcoming 4-H events, there will be decorating for a Senior Citizens dinner at the La Veta Community Center on July 24th beginning at 9 am, and there will be a Barn Cleanup on July 25th at 1:00 pm at the La Veta Fair grounds. This will be the last cleanup before the county fair, so if you if you still have to fulfill your member in good standing here is a good opportunity.
COOL forms must be turned in if you plan to show your animals. Fair showing fees must be paid if you wish to show your 4-H project animal at the fair. The fee is $10 and will cover all of your animals and exhibits, including anything that you enter in open class.
