4-H Week Proclaimed, Students Honored

Fayette County Commissioners heard annual reports last Thursday from the 11 4-H Clubs in Fayette County. Representatives from each club reported on their activities over the past year. Fayette County has one of the most active 4-H programs in the region, with clubs in Fayetteville, Flatonia, La Grange, Round Top-Carmine, Schulenburg and Winchester. 4-H also has a county-wide horse club, a shooting sports club and the new Grow Wings 4-H Club, which is dedicated to youth with disabilities. After the presentations, Commissioners signed a proclamation designating the week of Oct. 4-10 as 4-H Week in Fayette County. “You are a very positive part of this community and we’ll always be behind you,” said Pct. 4 Commissioner Tom Muras.
