Bowman 4-H group met on Tuesday April 5th. We heard
from several members about their projects. Everyone is
so excited about their new animals and their projects!
The Gardening group did a recreation game of The Human Knot, and we talked about teamwork and what it
takes to be a leader to get unlocked. It was a lot of fun.
Several countywide events coming up with Still Exhibits
and Fur and Feathers! Can’t wait to see everyone out
and enjoying all 4-H offers us! Our next meeting will be
May 3, 2016 at Evergreen Elementary School Gym at

We had our first project meeting on Feb 21st. We met
our project leaders and other project members. We
talked about this year’s goals and activities. We were
able to see a meat goat pen, and what we need in the
pen. On March 18th
we met and we listened to Samantha

what to look for when
picking our goats out.
She also taught us
how to set up our
goats showing, and
how to walk them.
Next meeting is coming soon, can’t wait!

4-H Spotlight
RECORD BOOK
Corner
Personal Development Record (PDR)
Sometimes it can be challenging to determine where you should record all of your participation and activities from
your current 4-H program year! Here are some helpful tips to make sure you are following the current
California 4-H Record Book Manual:
If you attend a 4-H event, make sure to put in “3. 4-H Events Attended.”
If you attended a 4-H event and participated in a way that meets another PDR category make sure you
record it! BUT– that specific activity can only be counted in one category even if it could meet other categories. It is your choice!
Make sure that when you place that event or activity in another category you qualify why it belongs in that
category! See below for an example.
Felicia attended the Tehama District Fair…
where she showed her market lamb in the 4-H Showmanship and 4-H Market (Weight Class) Divisions. She placed 2nd in her 4-H Showmanship Class. Where would she record these in her PDR?
Felicia would record Tehama District under the “3. 4-H Events Attended” since this fair offers 4-H Divisions.
She could then record her participation in both her market animal exhibit and her participation in showmanship as two credits under “2. Project Skill Activities.”
Because she placed 2nd in her 4-H Showmanship Class, she can also place that in the “7. Honors/
Recognition” category.
At this point– Felicia has exhausted all the options of where she could place her participation in
4-H Divisions at Tehama District Fair!
Make sure that you use the 2015-2016 California 4-H Record Book Manual,
http://4h.ucanr.edu/files/218972.pdf, to assist in completing your 4-H Record Book.

GARDENING PROJECT
This is my first year in the gardening project. So far, it is
one of my favorite projects. At our first meeting, I learned
how to plant seeds in potting soil and little containers. At
our second meeting, we removed weeds in raised beds
and planted the seedlings from our first meeting. Some
of them had grown so much. We planted onions, carrots,
spinach and some beets. We have a lot more to plant. It
was a lot of work. After we planted everything, we watered the
beds. Later on my own, I planted
a garden of kale, collard greens,
carrots and cilantro for my rabbit.
I helped my mom plant strawberries, peppers, and tomatoes. We
even planted an herb garden in a
big container. The warm weather
is helping everything to grown. I
am excited to seeing all the vegetables that our garden gives us.

BEND JELLY 4-H
DIRT BIKE & ATV PROJECT
For our March meeting we met at the Kohler's barn at
1:30p.m. There was a fun Easter Egg Hunt. Each Easter
egg had a horse body part and we had to point out the
part on the horse. We worked on tying bowline knots,
proper grooming and saddling. Then we rode a few horses and worked on flexing and one rein stops.
