4-H CAMP
Daviess County 4-H will be attending West KY 4-H Camp in Dawson Springs June 11-14, 2024! Be sure to save the dates. Paperwork and registration will be available in early 2024.

PIGGY BANK CONTEST
The Kentucky Saves 2024 Piggy Bank Contest is a creative way for youth to learn the importance of saving money and reducing debt. The contest, which celebrates Kentucky Saves Week (April 8-12, 2024), is open to youth enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grade at any public, private, or homeschool within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Winners will have their names, grades, counties, and winning piggy bank displayed in the Capitol Rotunda in Frankfort during March and April 2024. Entries need to be turned into the Daviess County Extension Office by December 1, 2023. For the enrollment form and more information, visit https://daviess.ca.uky.edu/piggy-bank-2024.

KY VOLUNTEER FORUM
The Kentucky Volunteer Forum is great biannual opportunity for 4-H volunteers.  It is a great way to get new ideas for your 4-H clubs. Certified livestock, horse, and shooting sports volunteers can also get their required 2 hours of continuing education by attending. Early bird registration (by 12/15/23) is $250. The Daviess County 4-H Council has money to assist with the costs of attending the forum; the amount available for each individual will depend upon the number attending but could potentially pay for all, or most, of the registration fee.

Check out the websites for workshop and hotel information. We currently have two double rooms reserved for Thursday and Friday nights. Volunteers will likely need to pay the cost of their room, which is $134 per night plus tax.  Please contact the Extension Office or visit https://4-h.ca.uky.edu/core-program-areas/kentucky-volunteer-forum for more information.

Thanks to everyone who came out to this new event held October 21 & 22 at the Daviess County Fairgrounds and volunteered to sell soft drinks.  It was a beautiful fall weekend!
