We got to say THANK YOU to Jackson County Farm Bureau this morning for sponsoring a scholarship for one of our 4-Her's to attend camp this summer!

We recently had the opportunity to meet with the Jackson County Farm Bureau Board and present them with a framed thank-you for sponsoring a scholarship that allowed a Jackson County 4-H’er to attend summer camp.

Their generosity gave this camper the chance to make new friends, try new activities, build confidence, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are so thankful for community partners like Jackson County Farm Bureau who continue to invest in our young people and support Jackson County 4-H! 🍀💚

🍳 Fire Up the Grill—or the Stove—for the Georgia 4-H Food Showcase!

Do you love to cook, create new recipes, or show off your grilling skills? Registration is now open for the Georgia 4-H Food Showcase, held September 19, 2026, at Rock Eagle 4-H Center!

The showcase includes four exciting contests: Egg Chef, Chicken BBQ, Turkey BBQ, and Food Challenge. Egg Chef, Chicken BBQ, and Turkey BBQ are open to Junior 4-H’ers in 7th–8th grades and Senior 4-H’ers in 9th–12th grades. No district qualification is required!

🥚 Egg Chef

Grab a teammate and get cracking! Teams have up to one hour to prepare a dish featuring eggs. They will then present an interactive demonstration about eggs to a panel of judges. Indoor cooking areas include a stovetop, oven, microwave, and sink.

Recipes must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on September 2, 2026, and cannot be changed after submission.

🍗 Chicken BBQ

Individual contestants have up to two hours to charcoal-grill four bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. They will also give a presentation about chicken to the judges.

🦃 Turkey BBQ

Individual contestants have up to two hours to prepare two turkey burgers on a charcoal grill. At least 75% of the burger ingredients must be the ground turkey provided, and each uncooked patty must weigh at least ¼ pound. Contestants will also share a presentation about turkey with the judges.

The State 4-H Office will provide the eggs, chicken thighs, and ground turkey. Contestants must bring all other ingredients and cooking supplies, including grills, charcoal, pots, pans, utensils, and potholders.

The $50 registration fee covers the contest entry fee and practice supplies. Each county may enter up to two contestants or teams per division in each contest, so space is limited!

A big THANK YOU to Coach Roller for sharing a special piece of 4-H history with us! 💚🍀

Today, We received a memorable 4-H Day stamp from 1939, and what a treasure it is! It’s amazing to hold a piece of history that reminds us of the generations of young people, volunteers, and leaders who have been impacted by 4-H over the years.

Thank you, Coach Roller, for preserving and passing along this wonderful keepsake. It’s a reminder that while programs and traditions may change, the heart of 4-H—making the best better—has remained strong for nearly a century. 💚
