| Impact Report | The home economist continues to work closely with the Chaves County Rodeo Association who hosts one of the largest 4-H Rodeos in the state. The home economist helps with entry forms, programs, opening gates, and assisting county council officers who are helping at the rodeo. Rodeo is one of the 4-H projects which enables the 4-H'er to learn life skills of responsibility and leadership. Chaves County is very fortunate to have over seventy volunteers help with this event each year. Many of these volunteers are past 4-H members who have competed in 4-H rodeo and know the value of "giving back" and supporting youth activities. The Chaves County Rodeo Association obtained funding from the New Mexico Rodeo Council and were able to return entry fees to those who entered the Chaves County 4-H Rodeo. Many parents and 4-Her's comments include: "Chaves County knows how to put on a rodeo, everything runs so smoothly." |
