Orange 4-H Archery Club Reports on Activities
By Jake Bernard, Club Reporter
The majority of our club went on a field trip to Richmond to visit the General Assemby on February 12th. Delegate Scott and Senator Reeves were so kind to make time in their day to meet with us. We were able to watch the voting process in the General Assembly along with over 800 other 4-H members. It was a beautiful day.
We had a great practice session on February 15th, we are learning all of the do's and don'ts of safety and scoring for archers.
On March 9th, we will be taking a field trip to Augusta County Archers Club, where they have graciously agreed to work with us one-on-one regarding technique.

County Share-The-Fun and Presentations Contest
The county-wide Presentations contest will be on March 29 here at the extension office. Once you do your presentation at the club level, if you would like to participate with your topic once again you may do so at the county level! This would be a great opportunity for you to see what other people outside of your club are interested in or doing.
These events would be great practice if you want to compete at the district level with your talent or presentation.
Let Sarah or Kaci know if you have any questions or would like to participate in either of these events!
