Jim Wells Extension Posts December 4 H Events, Holiday Health Tips
The Jim Wells County AgriLife Extension updated its official page on December 1 with a full December calendar for local youth and community programs, including a District 12 archery competition taking place today and multiple events through the month. These listings matter to families and small producers because they set registration deadlines, provide project training, and offer public health guidance that affect participation, local spending, and community well being.
The Jim Wells County AgriLife Extension updated its county page on December 1 to list program registrations, event details, and deadlines for 4 H youth activities and Healthy South Texas initiatives. The calendar includes the District 12 Archery Competition scheduled for December 6 with registration and match information for Jim Wells County 4 H members and neighboring counties, along with reminders about registration deadlines and entry procedures. That event is on the calendar for today and will involve youth competitors from across the district.
Through December the county calendar also lists robotics practice sessions, county 4 H meetings for Orange Grove Country Kids and Premont Cactus 4 H, the RGVLS Citrus and Vegetable Show on December 12 and 13, a hunter education course on December 13, and dog project training on December 21. The page is the official local hub used to post program registration, event details, deadlines, and contact information for extension staff who coordinate 4 H and community health programs.
For local families the timing matters. Several events carry tight registration windows and require forms that must be submitted to extension staff ahead of competition dates. The citrus and vegetable show on December 12 and 13 can provide youth exhibitors and small growers a showcase for produce and project work, which supports practical agricultural skills and can generate modest short term spending in the local economy from visiting participants and their families.
Healthy South Texas guidance and holiday wellness tips posted on December 1 aim to help residents manage seasonal health risks and maintain program participation through the holidays. Public health guidance paired with youth programming supports continuity of learning and reduces absenteeism that can affect both schooling and extracurricular engagement.
Check the county AgriLife Extension page for specific registration instructions and staff contact information for each program. Timely registration and participation in these events sustain local youth development pipelines, support small scale agricultural activity, and contribute to community resilience over the winter months.
