A combination of enthusiastic 4-H members, sewing machines, and several summer afternoons results in fun, learning, and handmade items. This summer eight 4-Hers came together periodically in July and August at UT Extension Union County to learn how to use a sewing machine and fashion sewn articles.

It is the time of year when we are counting down days until Christmas, finalizing shopping lists, spreading tinsel, and tying bows. As quickly as December sneaks up, June peaks around the corner. As we transition from snowflakes to sunshine, Union County 4-H is preparing for the upcoming 2018 4-H Camp! This December we have a special stocking stuffer that would be the perfect surprise for that special child, grandchild, niece or nephew that has it all.
