Hello 4‑H families! 🍀

We’re thrilled to announce our summer photo challenge! Each month, we’ll share a new theme right here on our page. Parents can then post their 4‑H member’s photo in the comments of that theme post along with the required details. Photos can be taken with a cell phone, a digital camera, or whatever you have available — use what works best for you!
After photos are submitted, open voting will begin, and entries will also be judged. Monthly winners will have their photos displayed at the Atoka County Extension office. At the end of the challenge, one overall winner will be chosen and awarded a $100 cash prize at the Free Fair. 🎡

Be sure to follow this page and share our posts so you don’t miss updates and can help spread the word for voting. ✔
