DeSoto County Extension Newsletter

February is here! We kicked off the New Year with a bang! A 4-H Goat Workshop started the ball rolling on January 5th, then we followed that up with 340+ in attendance at our 4-H Shooting Sports Interest Meeting. Next, 4-H Crepe Contest & 4-H Food Pantry Challenge Cooking Practices, Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training, the Northwest District Livestock Show, multiple Master Gardener Committee Meetings to plan their upcoming MG Training and the State Master Gardener Conference! WOW! Then FERN showed it’s ugly face and showed us what it feels like to have a severe winter storm in the area. That’s to just name a few of the larger highlights! It’s been BUSY and COLD!

Please note our inclement weather policy. If DeSoto County Schools are closed, then local 4-H meeting(s) and events are canceled. Everyone else please check social media before traveling to see us if we experience inclement winter weather. We just might be closed due to road conditions!
