Straight Shooters 4-H Update

Straight Shooters 4-H just completed their Shotgun Project in shooting skeet and trap at Arlington Sportsman’s Club, and three youth competed in the Trap Postal League.  On November 9, Straight Shooters held a “Caring for your Firearm Workshop” where participants learned how to care for and clean shotguns and .22 rifles.  As a community service project, this fall, they collected items for and assemble 25 Night Night bags to benefit homeless children. Their most recent Straight Shooter business meeting was Thursday, December 4, 2014 and they began their Archery project on December 7, 2014.

 Below are the pictures of the firearm cleaning workshop and the night night bags.

Hello, 4-Hers!

Quick last second reminder that tonight is County Council (Begins at 6:30 at the downtown office).  If you own a cool costume (Nothing inappropriate, immodest, or scary, of course), feel free to wear it tonight!  I know I will!
