07-08 Registration

Greetings,

Big Shots 4-H club will be holding its registration on September 22nd at 6:00 p.m. at Rodney and Tiffany Shedd's house at 12122 S. Toltec Buttes Rd., Eloy. We will provide a nacho bar with water, lemon-aide, and ice tea. Please bring your own outdoor chair. We will talk about 4-H and what it has to offer, do sign-ups and have a bonfire. Last year Big Shots was a shooting sports only 4-H club that participated in the county fair in rifle, archery, and pistol and took top honors in all events. Big Shots also competed in the State Shotgun Shooting contest held at Ben Avery. They shot trap, skeet and sporting clays and one of our Big Shots took first place in the state.

See you at the bonfire. Hmm? Bonfire? Does that count as a woodburning project??

4-H is available for youths ages 9-18 and clover kids is available for children ages 5 -8.

"When adults take time to help young people through 4-H, they exert an enormous, positive influence on the lives of youth."
