The DeWitt County Commissioners’ Court opted to join municipalities nationwide in officially recognizing the first full week of October as National 4-H Week during their Sept. 12 meeting.

DeWitt County Extension Agent Anthony Netardus thanked the commissioners for their continued support of the development program that served 298 local youth ranging from third graders to 18-year-old young adults.

“Since 1968, we’ve been supporting National 4-H Week to promote 4-H in our county and thank people who support 4-H. We do that the first full week of October; this year will be Oct. 2 through Oct. 8…,” said Netardus Sept. 12.  “On behalf of the Agrilife Extension of DeWitt County,  myself, my coworker Denise Goebel and my secretary Pam Ficklen, and all the 4-H leaders of the County, we want to thank DeWitt County and the Commissioners Court for their support of our office and our 4-H program.”
