All in All Done!!!!

District Contest Season is officially over.  Now we can take a deep breath and gear up for State Roundup and the summer camp season... it never ends, but that's why most of us do it.

A few of highlights from this Spring:

• Photography contest - online!!!! No photos to mount and everybody can see the entries in the contest.
• Intermediates give Reasons at Horse and Livestock Judging.  A large step forward in an area that sets us apart from FFA and develops speaking skills in our youth.
• Scientific Poster Contest is a success... There are things to tweak on this one, but the experience has us pointed in the right direction
• Food Challenge goes to State.  We hosted our 3rd or 4th food challenge contest and this year the top teams go to state competition
• Plaques set aside.  The Food and the Fashion committees ditched the plaques as awards, and found creative items for recognition - jury is still out but kids seemed to like the new ideas.

Now on to the next event(s). 

Contests currently open on 4-H Connect:

• Sate Roundup - Closes May 12, 2010
• Leadership Lab - Closes May 30, 2010
• District Horse Show - Closes June 6, 2010

More to come, but I'll let you digest this much first.
