Grow Green Marshall
Youth Gardening Project
On Saturday, April 12th, the Grow Green Marshall held its Kick Off
event. Approximately, 50 youth and adults attended this grand
event. Mr. Jack Dillard did an excellent job of serving as Master of
Ceremony. Mayor Ed Smith was very grateful that so many
Harrison County youth have shown an interest in gardening. The
Grow Green Marshall 4H club is new in Harrison County. This club
is designed to teach youth about planting and harvesting produce, types of soil, garden tool safety and food
preservation (canning and freezing). The ultimate goal is for the youth to sell produce at the Farmers’ Market.
If you are interested in this club, please contact the Harrison County Extension.

HOMESCHOOL 4-H CLUB NEWS
The Homeschool 4-H Club currently has 3 members heading to the Texas 4-H State
Round-Up at Texas A&M University June 10-13. Emma Grace Tew, Kysa Taylor, and
Gabriel Alonzo will be representing Harrison County as a team in the Food Challenge
Contest. At the contest, they will be given a few ingredients and asked to create an
attractive, delicious dish and need to know the ingredients and nutrients found in their
dish.
Gabriel was one of six contestants from around the state to be chosen to compete in front of 4000 kids and
adults at the Texas 4-H State Round-Up in the 4-H Has Talent contest. He submitted a video of his
juggling/gymnastics act performed to Hunter Hayes’ song “I Want Crazy” in April, and was informed by e-mail
that he had been selected to compete. The audience will choose the winner by texting their vote. The winner
will then win a cash prize.
For our community service project, led by Emma Grace Tew, we are collecting pillowcases,
fabric, and cash to make pillowcase dresses for the Clothes Closet. We are also collecting
change to make improvements to the 4-H Center in Brownwood as part of their state-wide
project.
Some of our kids are planning to attend Texas 4-H Congress in Austin in July, Leadership
Lab in Tyler in June, and the local camp here in Scottsville in August, so it will be a busy 4-H summer for our
club.
A big thanks goes to our Mrs. Mary Nell Cole for conducting a public speaking workshop at our March
meeting!
Our club made a college visit to ETBU earlier this month, where we were treated to a free lunch, met with an
admissions counselor, and received a tour of the campus.
Respectfully submitted by:
Tami Alonzo, Homeschool 4-H Club Manager
Important Date!
The deadline for County Recordbooks is
Friday, June 27th - at 5:00 p.m.
In order to be eligible to receive any special Harrison County awards such as the Gold Star,
Outstanding Junior Member, Rookie of the Year or I Dare You awards, you must turn in a
Recordbook for that year. By doing a recordbook, you will have documented all of the outstanding
accomplishments achieved during the year, and have tangible 4-H memories for the future.
Creating Your 4-H Recordbook
Beginning in the 2011-2012 4-H year, revisions were made and implemented to create:
1. More age appropriate forms
2. An OPTIONAL online system available for data entry
(www.4hreports.com)
3. Identical Word and PDF forms available for download
(http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/youth_recordbooks)
4. An updated evaluation process that focuses on personal achievement
5. Greater flexibility for members to move from one competitive recordbook category to another
from year to year as he/she develops other project interests
Should you have any other questions or need further assistance, please contact the Extension office.
