Things are really starting to pick up with 4-H. It seems as though May is the month where projects really start to fire up.
Our final enrollment numbers for 2021 are 11 volunteer/leaders, 49 members, and 17 Cloverbuds.
The Kiowa County Riding Club and horse project members have lots of events planned all summer long. the horse project leader Yonda Leonard has teamed up with Prowers County and are alternating practices and clinics for the summer.
Each year Colorado 4-H members participate in a variety of events, learning opportunities, and contests across the state and within their counties. Does 4-H make a difference after these members become adults?
Please join us, Sunday, April 18, 2021, at the Kiowa County Community Building. We will be hosting a Livestock Show Animal Selection Workshop lead by Yuma County Extension Agent Travis Taylor. Taylor was the Junior Livestock Show Judge for the 2020 Kiowa County Fair.
Taylor will be discussing the ins and outs of selecting livestock for show season.
The workshop should last about an hour with a question and answer session. Estimated start time is 3:30 pm following the Prairie Queen 4-H Meeting.
The Prairie Queen Cloverbuds meet Sunday March 21, 2021 at the Eads Community Building to learn about plants.
The Cloverbuds were shown many different samples of soil and asked it the plants would grow. There was potting soil, clay, sticks, rocks, cotton and plastic gloves. It was determined that the rocks would not work well because the seeds just stayed on the top.
