Tomorrow night, all three elementary schools will have Back to School Nights. Since I can't be in all places at once, I will do my best to make an appearance at as many as possible. I am going to be handing out some pencils (always useful), a few other items, and this simple flyer for 4-H. The QR Code on the flyer and the link in this message are to receive enrollment or registration information when it becomes available, but this link IS NOT to the registration form.

Even if you have filled out a form in the last year or the last ten minutes, the 4-H Program Year starts September 1st, 2026, and this will give you a head start to receiving that information and getting enrolled. This will be VERY important for camp registration in the spring of 2027, if you are interested in going. This will also be really important if you want to do any of the other wonderful things offered in 4-H. If you have any questions for me, please let me know.

We need your help!

Kentucky youth artists, we need your help! To celebrate that agriculture is everywhere and display a map of our Commonwealth at the Kentucky State Fair, we are collecting coloring sheets for each county — and we're still missing some!

If you are a youth living in one of the following counties, we invite you to participate: Anderson County Bell County Bourbon County Boyle County Bullitt County Casey County Clark County Garrard County Harrison County Hopkins County Jessamine County Johnson County Knox County Letcher County Marion County Mason County Nicholas County Owsley County Pulaski County Trimble County Woodford County

After coloring your sheet, scan or clearly photograph it, then email it to [email protected].

Please submit by Thursday, July 30.

Through the academic excellence of our many undergraduate majors, graduate programs, certificates and minors, we prepare students to be leaders in their industry.
