๐Ÿ“ธ PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB: LIGHTING & SHADOWS!

Our Calhoun County 4-H Photography Club explored how lighting and shadows can change the look and feel of a photograph during this monthโ€™s meeting!

Members learned how light affects a photo, experimented with different lighting directions and intensities, and explored creative ways to use shadows in their pictures.

Photography is about more than just taking a picture. Itโ€™s about learning to observe details, experiment with techniques, and use creativity to tell a story!

๐Ÿ‚ CLOVERBUD CLUB RECAP: A HARVEST OF FUN! ๐ŸŽƒ

Our Calhoun County 4-H Cloverbuds celebrated the fall season with a hands-on meeting full of learning, creativity, and pumpkins!

๐ŸŽƒ During A Harvest of Fun, our Cloverbuds explored different types of winter squash and voted for their favorites, learned how pumpkins grow from seed to harvest, and created puffy paint pumpkins to enter in the North Florida Fair. They also enjoyed a pumpkin-themed snack and story to wrap up the meeting!

From exploring fall agriculture to creating their own fair exhibits, our Cloverbuds are learning new things, expressing their creativity, and building skills through hands-on 4-H experiences!

Our Calhoun County 4-H Archery Club spent Tuesday at Tallahassee Archery Club for a full day of practice, learning, and time on the range!

Youth had the opportunity to experience three different ranges: Field, 3-D, and FITA. Each offered a chance to practice their archery skills, work on accuracy, and gain experience in different shooting environments.

A big thank-you to Tallahassee Archery Club for welcoming our group and graciously waiving the range fees for our youth! We appreciate the opportunity to get our archers out on the range for a day of learning and practice.
