Chambers County 4-H hosted its first annual Open House event on Tuesday, September 20, 2016 and attendance was beyond expectations.

Approximately 125 Chambers County residents attended the event which was meant to showcase all of the amazing educational opportunities that Chambers County 4-H offers.

Club managers and other volunteers were on site to represent each of the eight 4-H Clubs in Chambers County and current 4-Hers were available to talk with visitors about what they are learning from the projects that they are participating in. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Agents and staff were available to answer questions. In all, visitors had the opportunity to visit 23 booths and were offered educational handouts, snacks and the opportunity to play fun games.
