I spent Saturday morning sitting on the back of a pickup at the Walton County Agricultural Center, listening as the 4-H'ers and parents sat around in safety orange T-shirts waiting on each shooter's turn.
Kimble: 4-H'ers place at District Project Achievement
Forty-five Cloverleaf 4-H'ers in the fourth through sixth grades competed at District Project Achievement this year.

They presented in club meetings, at County Project Achievement and at District Project Achievement.

4-H traditions endure the test of time
I enjoyed one of my favorite 4-H traditions this week: dinner at the Varsity.
Learning safety through shooting sports
The solitary "crack" of a BB pellet hitting its target breaks the silence of the Walton County Livestock Barn. Then a volley of shots begin to hit their marks, kicking off the district 4-H BB match.
Clean out your closet for 4-H
I have an ancient laptop which thinks it is 1986 every time you turn it on. It will only come on, of course, if it is plugged in because the battery died years ago, and a new battery is more than the computer is worth.
Food from 4-H
Rallying to collect cans: 4-H'ers in Ms. Ethel Hall's club at Oak Hill Elementary collected 111 cans of food for the Community Food Pantry. The food pantry accepts donations at its location at 7125 Turner Lake Circle in Covington and may be reached at (770)784-0037.

As a kid, "military" meant something historical or romantic to me.

Livestock team earns state honors
At 6 a.m. on a below-freezing Saturday morning, I found myself trying to stay warm at the UGA Livestock Barn, realizing why I was never tough enough to show livestock.
Sit up, polish your shoes, don’t eat the bread
No one pays attention to how you eat your bread, how many bites of steak you cut up, or how your shoes look - right? As a high school student, I was convinced those rules were ancient history, something we were being taught in the Youth Leadership Institute and at the 4-H winners' conference as things our agents wished we'd bring back to popularity.
Facebook for "adults"
If you're not on Facebook, you're part of an ever shrinking crowd these days.

Kroger goes green for 4-H
 Have you heard the one about cabin 54 at Rock Eagle 4-H Center? As a fifth grade camper, I heard the story for the first time, but it's been making the rounds of late nights in cabins for decades. Prison labor helped build the camp, and as in any good ghost story, one of the prisoners had a foolproof escape plan. I'm guessing he chose cabin 54 because it was the ...
Anything truly is possible
Watching the inauguration this week, I wondered what it would feel like to speak in front of 40 million people.
