HUNT COUNTY — Hunt County Judge Bobby W. Stovall proclaimed October 2025 as National 4‑H Week at the commissioners court meeting on Sept. 9 and commended local Extension staff and volunteers.
What happened: The court heard a short presentation from county extension staff and local 4‑H leaders before Judge Stovall read a proclamation recognizing the program’s role in youth development. Mary (extension staff) described club‑level activities and invited commissioners to a county kickoff event in the Heritage Garden; Erin, the Hunt County Council 4‑H president‑elect, thanked the court for county support and described scholarship and competition participation by local 4‑H members.
Why it matters: The proclamation is ceremonial but points to active county-supported youth programming delivered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and local volunteers. Extension staff said roughly 200 Hunt County members attended recent club kickoff meetings and that the county program’s annual kickoff was planned for the coming weekend with youth ambassadors, master gardeners and family activities.
Action: The court voted to approve the proclamation. Judge Stovall signed it as read in open court.
Ending: Extension staff introduced two new employees and handed a flyer describing upcoming events to the commissioners; the court approved the proclamation by motion.
