FRANKLIN COUNTY HAS INVITED US TO A HORSE WINTER SYMPOSIUMS - Please see below, I do need to remind you that these are a pointed event for Clinton County 4H members however only if you pre- register with us here at the office by using our link to register for the event . You are certainly more than welcome to attend these events but if you do not register with us here in Clinton County then it would not count as a point for our fair requirements. If you will be attending this event for just the Small Ruminant part you will need to be there by 10:30 to partake in that as that is just a portion of what will be covered. Unfortunately the small ruminant part will not be able to be a pointed event, but the horse part will. See attached announcement and listing of what will be covered.
UNBRIDLED THOUGHTS - As some of you may know Jeannie Griffiths our state 4-H Horse person will be retiring. Attached is the last Unbridle Thoughts that will be done and she has asked us to share this with all our horse members. http://ansci.cornell.edu/4H/horses/ubt/ubt_fall13.pdf
HORSE CAMP PLANNING MEETING: Just wanted to let you know that on January 28th at 6:30pm there will be our first horse camp planning meeting, please plan to come if you have some ideas of something new or to make horse camp better, or just to help in any way you can. The meeting will be taking place here at our office.

PRODUCED IN NEW YORK EVENT: Just a reminder for those members that are having the opportunity to participate in another way of doing a public presentation by partaking in our Produced in New York event on March 1st. I wanted to remind you that the sign up is up on our website to sign up to be involved with this. Once we have some dates set for the workshops that Chelsea will be doing to get you ready for the actual event we will get in touch with each of you. So please be sure to sign up. I had attached some information on this Produced In New York event in our January 10th newsletter. This is not just for people to make up missed public presentation this is for anyone who wants to get their hands into some cooking!!!! IT WILL BE FUN AND GREAT LIFE SKILL TO HAVE https://pub.cce.cornell.edu/event_registration/main/events_landing.cfm?event=PiNY2014_209
Melissa's quick summary--this is an event where students do SILENT 30 minute demonstrations of how to cook something. For this particular category students feature at least one item that is produced somewhere in the state of NY. The food is demonstrated in stages. It is done on a single table with no oven/stove. So for each step that then required stove/oven prep, you would bring out the next step already prepped.
CAPITAL DAYS TRIP: We are still looking for 2 teens to participate in Capital Days in March, you need to be at least 14 years of age to participate. If you would like further information see last weeks newsletter or call or email me. Remember this is an opportunity to see behind the scenes in Albany and nothing you learn in the textbooks. If you are thinking Politics is in your future this is a great opportunity!!!

Looking for Teens to Design a Horse Game
Are any of you interested in helping lead and design a clinic that will teach other kids in 4H all about the costs and issues associated with buying and owning a horse?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The “Horse Game” (as we are calling it until we find a more suitable and attractive title) has been suggested by many enthusiastic 4-H club members and leaders. Our goal is to build upon a model used in the past to provide our 4-H youth members with a fun and interactive game (designed by YOU!) that will teach others extremely important and realistic information they can use when it comes to purchasing their own horse. The style for the game is inspired by the game of “Life” and will be set up in a similar fashion where 4-Her’s will draw a occupation card, receive a salary, and be thrown into the “reality” of horse ownership. You do not have to be involved in a 4-H Horse club to become part of this work team.
We could use all of the creative ideas and information that all of you have to offer so please get involved in this work team!
In the on-line registration form found here:
https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/HorseGameWorkTeam_209
I have asked anyone that chooses to sign up to pick from a drop down list of available dates to host our first meeting. All meetings will begin at 9AM and the end time will be determined by the team members.
If none of the available dates work for you and your family but you are still interested in becoming involved in this project please sign up anyway and choose “none of these dates work” so I know that you are interested in this opportunity and can include you on any emails I send out.
I will choose the date which is most suitable for the majority of people who sign up and will send a follow up email for further details once the registration is closed. The registration deadline is Wednesday, February 5th, 2013 so I can plan to host our first meeting on the 8th if this works for everyone. If you miss this deadline and still want to be part of this work team please email or call me so I can include you.
If you have any questions please contact Chelsea Baxter at clb299@cornell.edu or (518) 561-7450 - I will be more than happy to answer any questions!
