Home Ec School Delegates please be on the look out for informa-tion coming from the State 4-H Office. Please read the letter carefully, if you have questions, please do not hesitate to call me. This year we have two Junior Instructors attending and 12 participants! I will be making arrangements for transportation to and from the school, but since we have quite a few participants, we may need parents to transport kids as well.
I would also like to commend all the youth who participated in the Welcome to NM 4-H Workshop, we learned a lot about 4-H and worked hard on picture frames to exhibit at fair. Thank you to our Jr. Leaders, Aubri Wrye, Moises Anaya and Marlie Neish for providing an eventful team building activity.

Torrance County Hosts 2013 District Horse Show
Torrance County is proud to be the HOST County for the 2013 District Horse Show. The event will take place at Rockin Horse Arena on Saturday, June 15, 2013. Please save the date to volunteer your time to assist with the Show. It would be nice to see all the clubs help with this event. Entry forms will be on the website or if you would like a hard copy please contact our office.
Horse Certificates
The Horse certificates are one of those documents that 4-H members enrolled in the horse project need to do every year. The horse certificate is a form similar to a registration form. You can find it on the Torrance County 4-H website.
They are due by April 1st to the county extension office (Not the state office). We get asked why do 4-H’ers have to submit a certificate every year? Horses get sold, traded and or leased. It is strongly recommended that 4-H members submit a horse certificate for any horse that they may have to use as their project for the year.
