Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

As we near one of the greatest eating-centric holidays, Thanksgiving... it is important to first extend a heartfelt thanks for each and every one of our tremendous volunteers. Elkhart County 4-H is extremely fortunate to have over 700 adults that donate multitudes of time, skills and energy serving the youth in our county and that sort of selflessness and dedication needs to be celebrated and appreciated.

Our office is very thankful. Have a great Thanksgiving!

All the best,

Robby Kelly & Sthele Greybar

Performing Arts Contest

Do you like TED Talks? Singing? Dancing? The Elkhart County 4-H Performing Arts Contest is for you!

This judged contest is conducted virtually in December. Participants will be invited to perform in-person during the Elkhart County 4-H Fair! All registrations and videos need to be submitted by Friday, December 17!

Youth do not need to be in 4-H to participate, so get your friends involved. Last year, we had over 35 acts! Rules and guidelines can be found on the Google Form (linked above).

Scholarships Available

Check out the 2022 Scholarship Opportunities! Visit our county website here: 4-H Information (purdue.edu) under "Opportunities" to download applications and learn more.

We will discuss scholarships during our Career Readiness Workshops this winter. The first one will be December 9 during the Junior Leaders meeting. All high school aged youth are invited!

Applications are due January 25. If you have any questions, please contact the Extension Office at 574-533-0554.

Hacienda Gives Back - Next Week!

The Elkhart Hacienda location will be our Hacienda Gives Back Day fundraiser on Tuesday, November 23.

Hacienda will donate 20% of what we spend on our Gives Back Fiesta Day. You can come in at lunch or dinner, in large groups or individually. You can purchase Hacienda Gift Cards with a token and receive 20% for your organization. Carry out orders are counted too.

All you have to do is bring in the token provided, show it to your server, even if you show it on your phone... and everything on your bill will be counted for the 20%. (excluding sales tax, comped items, and gift card redemptions). You pay nothing extra!
