A note about a new club. We noticed that there is now a 4-H Club called “56 Ranchers 4-H.” We contacted them to get some information about them since they did so well this year at the fair.  Denise Barnes, Community Club Leader, answered us back. She wrote: “There are two 4-H groups in Escondido, ours and Escondido 4-H (but they are dissolving).  So we will be the only 4-H club in Escondido for 2018-2019.  Most of our members live in Escondido but we also have a family from Valley Center. We currently have 16 members exhibiting livestock at the San Diego County Fair for market week.  Our club has an emphasis on livestock – small and large animals but we also have projects in sewing and arts & crafts.  We will be adding projects for horses and shooting sports when our new year starts in August.   The kids have done really well at the fair this year!”

    Hello The article isn’t correct according to what happened at fair. Talking about meat chicken pens:
    FFA champion was Adam Hutchinson from Escondido FFA
    FFA Reserve was Serena Cabrera from Escondido FFA
    4-H Champion was Chase King from 56 Ranchers
    4-H Reserve was Caden Maher from Valley Center 4-H
    Grand Champion was Chase King from 56 Ranchers
    Reserve Grand Champion was Adam Hutchinson from Escondido FFA

    The name you have for the 4-H reserve isn’t correct.
