Livestock Participants:
Remember to contact Ryan or
Deborah to Davis to get ticket books
to sell for the drawing for the Gator!
The funds raised by this help each
and every one of you in sales! It is
very important that everyone
involved in any livestock project
gets involved.
For the past seven years, Chad Epperson has been working non-
stop to build a thriving 4-H program alongside the agents in
Gray County. As a new volunteer, he led several food and nutri-
tion projects while also volunteering as a club manager. When
his son developed an interest in archery, Chad became a pas-
sionate archery coach and assisted CEA's around the district in
starting their own 4-H archery programs. In 2017 he helped lead
the first District 1 Archery Contest and is now certified as an
archery instructor. In addition, he led a shoot to raise funds for
Hurricane Harvey victims (over $400), and also assisted with
setting up the State WHEP contest in Gray county. He also has
filled in as a livestock mentor when Gray County was without
an Ag Agent. Most recently Chad worked to plan a statewide
indoor archery event to be held in Pampa in 2018, which
gave youth in the Texas Panhandle an opportunity to partici-
pate. He also serves on the District 1 program development
board leading the archery committee in programming efforts.
The heart of this individual is what makes his leadership
extraordinary. Chad regularly uses his personal funds to travel
to other counties within the district to assist with coaching and
encouraging leaders and agents. Chad received the Salute to
Excellence Award on Wednesday June 13, 2013.
Congratulations, Chad!
4-H Enrollment starts August 15 for the 2018/2019 year on 4-H Connect. The enrollment fee will
be $20.00 for the year from August 15 through October 31. Starting November 1, 2018 the
enrollment fee will be $25 for the year for 4-H youth. If you are already in the system, you do not
need to start a new profile, just go to your existing family profile and re-enroll. If you have an
incoming 3rd grader, please wait until September 1 to enroll. If you enroll a 3rd grader before that
date, the computer will code the membership incorrectly. If you need help enrolling, please call
the office at 669-8033. If you are new to the system, you will need to create a family profile and
add all youth and adults that will participate in 4-H and 4-H Connect. When enrolling, you will
have an option on payment. If you pay with debit or credit, the youth will be in the system
immediately (recommended). If you do not have a credit or debit card and need to pay with check
or cash, please contact the office.

Don’t stop when you are tired, stop when you are
done.
