From the Field to Floor, Contest to Assemblies

Finally! I have found time! It's been a crazy day! I'm one-fourth of a range judging team who spent three hours waiting in the rain for lightning to stop so we could go to our judging contest. It never did stop, and only pushed me three hours behind schedule. I've been running like crazy, and will only stop on Friday. Props to everyone who does judging contests. If it's not one thing, it's always another. But I would never trade it for anything!
Tonight's assembly really portrayed the new style of roundup. We kept 4-H Has Talent a bit of a secret under the guise of "movie night." 4-Hers gave a stellar performance in the talent show! Shout out to our Council VP, Matt Kinsel, for representing us amazingly well with his dance routine with his sister! Y'all were great!

5 brothers won the hearts of 4-Hers with their apapella song collection. They brought down the house with Indian Jones, Star Wars and YMCA remixes. But who, I asked, were the judges?

We were...that's right Texas 4-H members! We had our very own America's Got Talent (hence, 4-H Has Got Talent.) It was complete with live, texting voting. Very, very cool!

Another technology advance was live video streaming of the final Food Challenge. Think Iron Chef meets 4-H. It was killer! All in all, we had a great assembly and I am looking forward to our new events becoming traditions in the future.
