30 Days Left!
It is amazing how much is happening now. The Larimer County Fair is getting closer—only 30 days until Interview Judging Day, and then Livestock starts showing.
National 4-H Shooting Sports Championships
This past week, the National 4-H Shooting Sports Championships was held in Grand Island, Nebraska. Larimer County was fortunate enough to have 4 youth attend. A total of 34 Colorado members qualified in 9 disciplines.
Qualification takes place during the state shoot the previous year. Larimer County had 2 of the 4 members on Colorado’s Compound Archery team: our own club’s Walker Cameron and Jude Rudd. Walker finished 4th OVERALL…AMAZING! Jude was 38th of the 111 participants and the Colorado team was 2nd of the 32 teams! Tristan Noyer shot Recurve Archery and placed 37th out of 68. She was one of a few to shoot a traditional barebow. The Colorado Recurve team was 9th out of 22 teams. Our club’s own Tait Simpson competed in Muzzleloader and finished 57th out of 71, and the Colorado team placed 6th of 22 teams. This is quite an accomplishment for all four of these shooters. It is certainly something for all of our club members who participate in shooting sports to strive for.
Demonstration Night
Last night we held our second Demonstration Night and had 16 fantastic demonstrations given. See the club website for the titles of their presentations. It was a fantastic variety and as always, I learned something new.
4th of July Parking Fundraiser
At the last club meeting, a discussion was held about having a 4th of July fundraiser. A motion was made, seconded, and voted on. During our parliamentary procedure reports, Mr. Ryan has explained many times about the importance of voting. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to vote and each member has the ability to agree or disagree about a motion by casting their vote.
The club members voted to park cars on the 4th of July at the Stowers Orthodontics on Taft in Loveland right across from Lake Loveland. The Snyder family was kind enough to bring this fundraising opportunity to us, and the signup is on the club website hch4h.org on the home page.
Now, we need members to sign up! This is a club event and we need members who voted to approve it to volunteer. Our club just spent over $2,000 on club shirts for our members, so this fundraiser would help increase our available funds. Thank you for signing up!
Fair Entry
Fair Entry is due by July 7! Be sure to enter for your projects and interview judging.
