They are Kathey Finley, Robertson County and Tom Rison, Claiborne County. Kathy and Tom will join Extension specialist Tom Samples, regional program leader Carla Bush, Robertson County volunteer leader Naomi Riggins, Interim Director and State 4-H Leader Steve Sutton and Extension specialist Justin Crowe as chaperons for Tennessee’s 36 delegates attending the event. Steve Sutton EXPLORING 4-H/SECRETARY’S RECORD BOOK HAVE BEEN SHIPPED Exploring 4-H (PB1653) and Secretary’s Record Book (F241) have been shipped from Publications and Services. You should have already received them. The number you received was based on the number of 4th graders and number of clubs you reported last year. Steve Sutton TENNESSEE REPRESENTED AT NATIONAL 4-H SHOOTING SPORTS INVITATIONAL The Shelby County Air Rifle team represented Tennessee very well at the National 4-H Invitational, held on June 24-28, 2009, in Grand Island, Nebraska. Members of the team are Jamie Arnett, Ethan Blackstone and Kaitlin McDonald. In addition to competing in Nebraska, Jamie, Ethan and Kaitlin had an experience that they will always remember. Their experience included a tour the Hornady Manufacturing facility. They now produce two million bullets a day and still cannot keep up with demand. One night featured a barbecue dinner and a dance. Another evening was spent at a water park. The event ended with an awards breakfast. Overnight stays were in Kansas City and St. Louis. Here are some of the comments:
Special thanks go to Shelby County 4-H volunteer leaders David Waldrip and Robbie Arnett. For photos, visit 4h.tennessee.edu/shootingsports/Invitational%20Gallery/index.htm. Daniel Sarver THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK A bore is a fellow who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it.
