We would like to congratulate both Terra Bazan, Merit Award Winner and Keri Court, Medalist of McSwain 4-H Club for their participation in the State Record book Competition.

UPDATE: 12//15/2009

Operation Christmas toy drive is extended!

I told you so!  Merced County 4-Hers are AWESOME!

So far our 4-H members have overflowed the toy collection barrel three times!!!

The Sheriff’s toy drive manager was so overwhelmed he extended the collection date!  He needs more time to prepare the toys for distribution!   The deadline is now the rest of this week.  12/18/09.

So, if you haven’t brought in toys yet, you still have time.  Be a part of this community service. Let’s show Merced County what 4-H is made...

We would like to congratulate ten year old Brennan of St. Anthony's 4-H for his 1st place Award Winning Recipe at the Save Mart Kid's Cookoff. Brennan created Jammin' Pineapple Quesadilla Triangles to be judged. You can see his recipe below.
