The Livestock Club had a great time feeding and interacting with the animals at The Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo for our end of the year trip.

We would like to recognize Lacy Coffey for her outstanding achievements in 4-H. Lacy has been an active 4-H member for five years, working hard in the dairy cattle project and representing Hamblen County with pride. She has shown dairy cattle, served as the June Dairy Month Chairperson, and was selected as the Tennessee Jersey Princess.

Lacy also earned first place in the sub-region for her dairy project board. Most impressively, she was one of only nine youth selected from submissions statewide to represent the Eastern Region at the Tennessee 4-H Junior High Academic Conference in the Dairy Cattle project area.

Today, Lacy is being presented her first-place ribbons and Premier Exhibitor medallion, along with a recognition certificate for Junior High Academic Conference. Please join us in congratulating Lacy Coffey.

We have 4 spots left! You will need to register in the 4-H office! Come see us soon to reserve your spot!

Honor Club Fun Day at the zoo!

The 10% chance of frost date for our area is around May 8. uthort.com is a great website for TN based information.

Marty and Carla joined others from the Eastern Region at the Nourish Recovery Pilot Symposium today. Each county that participated presented the results and highlights of their efforts.

So thankful to have our Nourish Recovery team here in Knoxville! We enjoyed hearing about the current state of drug addiction in Tennessee and how food plays a crucial part in recovery! More exciting things to come.

Hamblen County 4-H Horse Show is coming up on Saturday, May 9.
