October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Today, October 16th, is National Mammography Day. 💗

Early detection can make a difference, so don’t wait for a sign to start thinking about your breast health. Know what is normal for you, keep up with recommended screenings, and talk with your healthcare provider about when a mammogram is right for you.

Not sure where to start? Contact your local health department to learn more about mammogram locations and screening resources. Take the first step and schedule your screening today, and while you’re at it, encourage someone you care about to make their health a priority too!

Our Hickman County FCE clubs, Primm Springs and Tri-Community, came together for a countywide meeting filled with good food, great conversation, and lots of fun. We enjoyed a delicious lunch catered by Nannie’s Southern Table, shared a lesson on gratitude, and created beautiful fall floral arrangements together.🧡🍁

FCE clubs, formerly known as home demonstration clubs, are about much more than monthly meetings. They are a place to build friendships, learn new things, share talents, serve our community, and simply enjoy time together. We would love to see our clubs continue to grow, and there is a place for you in FCE!

If you have been looking for a way to meet new people, get involved, and be part of a welcoming group, come join us at one of our upcoming meetings! Details for both clubs are included in the flyer, and you can reach out to Emma at the UT Extension office at 931-729-2404 for more information!

We have officially wrapped up all three sessions of our Protective Connections: Recognizing and Responding to Youth Bullying program! 💙

Over the past three weeks, we learned about recognizing bullying, understanding what may be behind a child's behavior, and how to respond when a child is involved in bullying, whether they are experiencing bullying or engaging in bullying behaviors.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and to the Bernard Community Center for providing a space for these important conversations! We appreciate the opportunity to support families and strengthen our community through education!

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make the Hickman County 4‑H Chick Chain Show and Sale a success! Because of our amazing buyers, bidders, families, and volunteers, our 4‑H’ers were able to showcase their hard work. A big thank you also to UT TSU Extension Humphreys County 4-H Agent, Audrey Fulton, for coming to judge our 4-H’ers’ birds and teaching them how the judging process works!

Congratulations to our Grand Champion, Jack Goins, and our Reserve Grand Champion, Hunter Hall! We also want to give a round of applause to all of our 4‑H’ers who participated. We’re proud of each of you and grateful for a community that supports our youth every step of the way. See you next year!
