The Colbert County Round-Up (Competitive Events Day) was a great success. Our students participated enthusiastically, demonstrating their talents and school spirit. Congratulations to Colbert County High School for winning the 4-H Spirit Stick. Their energy earned them the honor of keeping the Spirit Stick in their classroom for the 2025-2026 club year.

The event featured four engaging rotation stations: the AAMU STEM Lab; First Responders (Muscle Shoals Fire Department, Muscle Shoals Fire Fighters, and Helen Keller Hospital EMTs); Tuscumbia Soil and Water Conservation District; and Extension Staff presenting Veggie Jeopardy.

We thank Devontae Anderson and his team for providing motivation and entertainment during lunch. We are grateful to all volunteers and judges whose dedication made this day possible. Special thanks to NWSCC for hosting us. Your support was essential to our success. We look forward to what 2026-2027 will bring for our youth.

Don’t forget your growers permit.
An Alabama grower’s permit is a powerful marketing tool that allows growers to sell the raw agricultural products they raise directly to consumers—without paying licensing fees or sales tax. This helps expand markets across the state and increases access to fresh, nutritious Alabama-grown foods.

Just drop by your county Extension office. The friendly folks there will help you out!
