February 10, 2017 - The District 5 4-H Nutrition and Fashion contests were held on February 4, 2017 at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches.  We had a record number of 4-H’ers enter in the food show, food challenge, nutrition poster, trashion fashion, duct tape designs, fashion storyboard, and fabric/textile creations contests.  A special thank you to all our 4-H parents for making this an exceptional experience for the youth of Shelby County.

Most parents think they are using their car seat correctly, but unfortunately, at least three out of four car seats are used incorrectly.
