Red River Paish 4-H has been very busy in April and May in the parish and the state.

The Squish Kabobs cooking team competed in the 4-H State Food Challenge. They did not place in the top three, but we couldn’t be prouder of them as they worked hard preparing for the competition. It was an accomplishment to make it to the State Round. Team members are: Dusty Halbmaier, Colt Dulaney, Maura Dupree, and Lucien Jordan.

The 4-H pet show only had one contestant, but Vivian Palmisano was the star of the show with her dog Toby! It was clear how much he loved her and how good she is with him.

Next up, Katelynn Albright, one of our Northwest Ag Ambassadors, learned all kinds of new things on her trip with the Ambassadors to the College of Ag in South Louisiana.

Lots of fun and good sportsmanship was had at the Northwest Regional 4-H Esports tournament. Two Red River teams came home with 1st place wins. Thanks so much to Mrs. Jennifer Breedlove for volunteering your time to work with these kids.

A day at RRES was had by two of our Junior Leaders Tye Weems and Fa’Dasia Demery. They enjoyed seeing all the kids at the bulldog store and helping the ladies and the kids.

4-H Cloverbuds from Red River Elementary, Arayah Mitchell, Jamari Thomas, and Zaden Williams participated in the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE Robotics Festival at Artbreak in Shreveport. They did a great job and were awarded best model.

The State Shooting sports competition began with our Archery team, who all work so hard and do so well! Aaron Hester and Levi Edwards were first year shooters, and we are so proud of their accomplishments all the way to State! Morgan Moseley, competing for the first time in the Senior division, placed 16 in Senior Nationals Division, Joseph Shaver placed 2nd in Senior Field and 3rd in Senior FITA. Colt Dulaney placed 6th in FITA. Ben Moseley competed in the state CMP Rifle event and placed 5th, shooting
586/600 with 23 x’s. Shotgun Team Remington Dabbs, Gabe Dabbs, Gavin Franks, and Hunter Guice competed
with Gavin placing 2nd and Hunter placing 8th.

The last two months have been busy but worth it all for our 4-Her’s. The Parish has had a great year and many things are happening during the summer in the parish and a cross the state for our 4-Hers.
