Please complete this registration survey below by October 12th. We will send enrollment information to your respective county extension offices so you will become an official 4-H member too! If you miss a meeting or just want to come for one or two, that is fine! We will record every meeting and send it out to the listserv of enrolled members, as well as certified horse leaders and county 4-H agents. Attendance will be recorded and sent to your respective agent for eligibility to participate in state-level horse events.
Our first meeting will be a “get to know you” session where we will do some ice breakers, learn all about the possibilities with the Kentucky 4-H Horse Program, and maybe play a fun game or two 😊

This effort, lead by Fayette County 4-H member and KY 4-H State Secretary, Katherine Zimmerman, will create several quilts that, once finished, will travel across the Commonwealth to attend award ceremonies for veterans.
Our 4-Her's have truly pledged their HANDS to larger SERVICE by lending their sewing skills for such wonderful cause!
For example, do you wonder how math can be used in art? Try this Grab-N-Go lesson that teaches geometry principles as youth get creative.

4-H Homeschool Experience met on Wednesday and studied all things horticulture. We dissected lima beans and found lots of seed coats, cotyledons, and plant embryos (leaves with roots)!!!

Art is expression and many of us would like to express how thankful we are for our farmers. Create a visual letter for Kentucky Farmers with the Kentucky 4-H Thank a Farmer Project to celebrate UK Ag Week and all of our farmers!
A visual letter is when you use art to express how you feel instead of words. Think of it as being someone’s paint pal. Create a picture expressing your gratitude for our Kentucky Farmers. You can use any type of medium you would like including crayons, markers, or paint!
This is a statewide effort so submit your artwork today to represent Meade County in celebrating and thanking our KY farmers!

What a great way to end our Monday! Both Meade County 4-H and FFA members visited with Susan Masterson, Meade County Clerk, to learn more about her office and to take a photo to help promote the KY AG Tag program. We truly appreciate the efforts of the County Clerk's office in this promotion that will help KY 4-H and FFA youth across the state, but also closer to home here in Meade County!
Please consider donating $10 when renewing your farm tags ... these donations help to fund many opportunities for Meade County 4-H & FFA youth and the KDA KY Proud program.

February is here and that means it’s officially Ag Tag Time in the Bluegrass! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be traveling throughout the state to promote the Ag Tag program at Kentucky’s county clerk offices. As Kentucky motorists venture to their county clerk offices to buy and renew farm vehicle license plates, consider making that $10 donation to the Ag Tag fund.
All donations are divided equally among Kentucky 4-H Foundation, Inc., Kentucky FFA Association, and Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Kentucky Proud Program for youth development and promotional programs. And half of the 4-H and FFA funds go back to the county where the tag is purchased to support local programming, awards, and scholarships. http://bit.ly/3HNucdK
