County Commissioners proclaim 4-H Week

The Jack County Commissioners Court proclaimed Oct. 6-12 as 4-H Week for Jack County, showing their support in front of a room of local 4-H members.

The courtroom was filled with 4-H students from all over Jack County the morning of Sept. 23, with student members introducing themselves to the court. Charlie Martin, Texas A&M AgriLife Jack County Extension Agent, said he looks forward to this meeting, as they have to get a proclamation from the court annually.

“Each year we have to do a proclamation to the Commissioners Court for national 4-H week,” Martin said. “This year, we have students from Bryson and Perrin with us to talk about their favorite parts of 4-H, what their officer positions are and how 4-H affects their life.”
National 4-H Week is also celebrated from Oct. 6-12.

Bryson Mayor Sheila Birdwell accompanied students from Bryson, where 4-H is a big part of the community.
