Project records

Don’t forget to bring your project records if you have them done, for your fair projects, or your blank project records, or at least your ideas on projects you would like to do for the fair. We will spend a portion of our meeting working on project records and talking about the Standards of Excellence.

 

The Extension Office has stolen our idea J and offering a Mini Workshop Day on  April 16th. Spaces may still be available for Crocheting, Photography, Food Skill-A-Thons and GIS/GPS Apllication in Ag. Contact the Extension office TODAY if you’re interested in any of these.

 

Canoe Trip

Hudson Ag members in 7th grade or higher will be heading out on a canoe trip in May. This will be an overnight trip down the Mackinaw. Sign Up sheets and additional information will be at the April (and May) meetings.

 

Ball Tournament –We will need to vote at the April meeting as to whether we are going to host the McLean County 4H Softball Tournament this summer, as we have in the past. This will mean a need for volunteer parents to coach and organize. Please come to the meeting ready to discuss this project.
