Pulaski County 4-H gives our sincere 'Thank You' to four of our 4-H Adult Volunteer Leaders

 

Pulaski County 4-H gives our sincere 'Thank You' to four of our 4-H Adult Volunteer Leaders, Allen Meek (Archery, Riflery, Shotgun), Sonya Jennings (Riflery), Donny Riddle (Riflery) and Judie Willis (Archery), all finishing up re-certifying this year to support our Pulaski County 4-H Shooting Education Club.

 

Shooting Sports is the second most popular international sport behind track and field. It is nearly unique in being a lifetime sport. Shooting Sports attracts new audiences to 4-H and creates adult-youth bonds.

 

4-H Shooting Club meets every Monday, 4-5:30pm, at the Extension Office. Membership is limited and open to youth ages 9-18, 4th - 12th grade.
