The storyboard includes original illustrations and flats, as well as addi-tional materials (such as photos from the Internet or magazines, paper, fabric swatches, patterns, etc.) that have influenced the unique design. There are 5 categories that each item must be en-tered and 4-H members may enter only ONE storyboard per catego-ry. For Fashion Storyboard’s theme: #4HFashionStoryboard2016 Social media has become a stage to not only set fashion trends, but to launch designers. Social media outlets such as, Facebook, Pin-terest, Twitter, and YouTube are easily accessible, and conversa-tional in nature. Fashion trends are created though social media, the trend is not “imposed” on the audience, but instead, it is made available for the audience, and the audience will have the freedom to adopt it or grasp onto part of it. More info can be found at under the D7 4-H website for Jr & Intermediate Fashion Show Guidelines or at the Texas 4-H Fashion Storyboard website at: http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/clothings-textiles/.

Also if you have any questions about the selection of pat-terns, material or buying info, just call Court-ney.

Jr. Fashion Project - Clothing & Textiles

There will be two separate 4-H Sewing Workshops this year for all 4-H members wishing to construct an outfit. They will be held from 9:30 AM until 3:00 PM on the following dates and places: ** Tom Green 4-H Center - June 1-3. ** Wall Elementary School Cafeteria - June 15-17. Each 4-Her is asked to come to the first meeting ready to sew; there-fore, you will need to bring the following items: *Sewing machine & attachments (if you do not have a machine, there will be extras that you can borrow-contact Courtney to verify.) *Material (washed & dried), Pattern, Thread to match, Scissors, pins & pin cushion, marking pens, measuring tape, seam ripper, accessories (anything your pattern calls for such as interfacing, elastic, lace, buttons, zipper, etc.) AND a sack lunch. All interested leaders and teen leaders are invited to help with these workshops. Even leaders that do not sew can be put to work on arts and craft projects. All available help would be appreciated. The Tom Green County Fashion Show will be held at the Tom Green 4-H Building on Thursday, June 30th beginning with judging at 9:00 AM and Fashion Show at 11:30 AM. The District 7 Jr. Fashion Show will be held Tuesday, July 19 at the Grape Creek Baptist Church. Each county may send a total of 48 winners to the District contest as follows: 24 - Juniors; Ages- 3rd grade—5th grade as of 8-31-15. 24 - Intermediates - ages - 6th—8th grade as of 8-31-15. (12 in Construction division & 12 in Buying division in each age group) Participants may wear purchased blouse/shirt if the participant has con-structed a skirt/pants or vice versa. The 4 categories in the Construction Division include: Construction Division: 1.) Dressy - garment worn to activities such as church, weddings, ban-quets and special occasions; examples: dresses, dressy skirt/blouse, dressy coat/pants. 2.)

Re-Fashion - The result of modifying existing clothing or fabric item (such as table cloth or curtain) into something more fashionable. The main purpose of ReFashion is creativity, as well as sewing skills. The member designs and sews a wearable garment from pre-viously used garments or fabric item.

Dressy - garment worn to activities such as church, weddings, ban-quets and special occasions; examples: dresses, dressy skirt/blouse, dressy coat/pants. 2.)

We went down the Master Blaster, which is the world's only uphill water slide. They do it by spraying up out of really powerful jets that makes your raft go up. There was also the Black Knight was scary because it is com-pletely dark the hole time, and the Wolf Pack that has an extra-large raft so that three people can go at a time. It was awesome and I hope we can do it again next year. Sean Woodley, Reporter Christoval Club Members of the Christoval 4-H club celebrated the end of the year with a swim party at the pool in Eldorado. Everyone had a great time! Officer pins were awarded to our outgoing officers, and a big thank you to all of the parents who helped make this year pos-sible. Our new officers will meet during the summer to plan for the new 4-H year. We hope everyone has a great summer break! TGC Shooting Shotgun Club Shotgun is in full swing of attending statewide shoots. Our county shoot went great. (it was our Last shoot facing East, Next year we will have to be facing North.)
