Update to Blog- Points, camp info, April newsletter

Hello 4-H Horse Families,


I updated the blog with the points from today's show along with the annual points. Congratulations to all members! What a great year it has been to see you all grow in 4-H!

Alesha and I will be working on year end awards within the next few months. We will plan to meet sometime within July. If your youth member has other ideas for year end awards other than a buckle please text Alesha and submit those ideas to her.

I have updated the county and state summer camp info. You can find that under the event section.  Looks like there is fun to be had at both camps. County camp is also providing transportation to and from. Be sure to reach out to the 4-H office with questions.

The April newsletter has been posted under the forms and docs sections.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Michelle
