February 15, 2017 - It is that time of year many get the itch to plant a backyard vegetable garden. We’ll look at the pictures and dream of bringing in armloads of fresh produce.

But before you begin, let’s talk about your preparations:

February 10, 2017 - The District 5 4-H Nutrition and Fashion contests were held on February 4, 2017 at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches.  We had a record number of 4-H’ers enter in the food show, food challenge, nutrition poster, trashion fashion, duct tape designs, fashion storyboard, and fabric/textile creations contests.  A special thank you to all our 4-H parents for making this an exceptional experience for the youth of Shelby County.

Food Contest Results

January 17, 2017 - The Shelby County 4-H Food Project students are busy getting ready for the District Food Contest to be held on February 4, 2017. In November, the Food Project began with educational workshops on Kitchen Safety, Food Safety, Nutrition Basics and Public Speaking. During these workshops, participants practiced the knowledge gained while perfecting their food prep and cooking skills.

January 5, 2017 - While many people think that 4-H is just about raising livestock, nothing could be further from the truth! We have numerous 4-H’ers involved in projects like clothing & textiles, photography, public speaking, shooting sports, etc.
