There are many 4-H projects that young people have enjoyed in the Kentucky 4-H program over the past 100 years.  Some of the most popular over those years have been livestock or animal projects.  These programs not only introduce many youth to animals, but more importantly they help youth learn many life skills through their participation and help them to develop positive character traits to become the leaders of tomorrow.

For the 13th year, Washington County college-bound youth who are currently 4-H members or FFA members or were a member their Sr. year in high school (within last 5 years), have the opportunity to apply for the Dorrin and Ruth Ross Scholarship.  The scholarship was originally established in 1991 to enable 4-H and FFA members to pursue higher education through full or part-time attendance at any public or nonprofit independent college or university in the United States.  Scholarships are awarded to defray the cost of tuition and books.

Marion County came to Springfield Friday night and there was the usual bantering, taunting and teasing going back and forth. And that was just the fans!

To say that Washington and Marion counties enjoy a good old-fashioned rivalry is to grossly understate the situation. It was definitely a lively atmosphere inside the Washington County High School gym as the frenzy reached a fever pitch. In the end, it was the invading Knights who left town with a 57-46 victory.

I was told by someone (who will remain nameless) that I have told you all what not to do plenty and I need to tell you what to do or plant in this case.  Alright, before I do that I just want to say to everyone out there, stop topping trees!!!!  You are ruining them and making them even more dangerous and likely to fail in the future at an unsuspecting time!
