February Member of the Month

Damion Garza is the Tipton 4-H Member of the Month for February.   He was treated to a pizza lunch at school on Wednesday.  This is Damion's 2nd year in 4-H where his projects include rabbits, crafts, Farmhand Olympics, and Share-the-Fun.  Damion is always willing to help in the food concessions and with other 4-H activities.

Damion is 10 years old and in the 5th grade, but when he grows up he wants to be an astronaut so that he can see space.  His favorite thing to do now is play football.  When asked what Damion believes he does best he answered, "Do a flip".  He's practicing for space!

Damion lives with Emilio, mom Nicole, and his two younger sisters, Alexis and Jayla.  He says his hero is his mom because she is an awesome person.

Congratulations, Damion!

Oklahoma Science Museum 4-H Camp In

The annual Oklahoma Science Museum 4-H Camp In was held at the Science Museum Oklahom on Friday, February 5th and Saturday, February 6th. Ten Tipton, OK, 4-H members attended the camp in, along with three adults.

The camp in is a great experience for 4-H members, as they discover more about science in unique and fun ways. 4-H members from all across Oklahoma are eligible to attend the yearly event. This year local members who participated in the county demonstration contest had their fee waived to attend the science camp in.  Four members took advantage of this incentive.

Those attending the camp in were Corey Jones, Drew Johnson, Christa Jones, Shon Boothe, Clayton Hancock, Cheyenne Hancock, Zachary Waugh, Zachary Crites, Owen Crites, and Jacob Waugh. Adults attending were Tonya Jones, Sabrina Johnson, and Lori Waugh.
