Join Jefferson County 4-H on October 4th in the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Event Center from 1:00-2:30pm for our annual Open House! This is a great opportunity for new families to learn what our program is all about and find out how your child can find belonging in 4-H!

What is 4-H? We are a positive youth development program that focuses on providing young people with hands-on learning experiences that help them build life skills that they carry with them into adulthood. Skills like leadership, public speaking, responsibility, and working through challenges are all things that members learn in 4-H.

Youth join a club where they will connect with other kids and complete a project in something they are interested in, whether it be raising livestock or making a scrapbook. There are over 50 projects to explore! Come out to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds to meet our club leaders, check out project demonstrations, and learn what it means to be part of 4-H!

NEXT AAHA MEETING

Monday, Sept 14th
7pm
G & J Lazy P

We are more than happy to meet anyone interested in the RFP from the City of Arvada for the Indoor Equestrian Center. We can share the information we have and some history on the property and try to answer any questions you may have.

We are also looking forward to reviewing proposals and discussing an endorsement by AAHA.

Please keep in mind that we do not have any say in the City's requirements and/or proposal process and do not play any part in the maintenance or management of the facility or its current use. We are providing a PSA about the RFP for our equestrian community to be proactive in protecting and improving our resources and way of life.

We do help the city to maintain and manage the outdoor Indiana Equestrian Center only.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - ACTION NEEDED

The City of Arvada has released the RFP (Request for Proposals) for the indoor equestrian center; please see the attached document and note that proposals are due in September. Please spread the word to those who may be interested!

This public, city owned facility should serve the public and should offer access, amenities and programming that partner with other public organizations such as 4-H, Jefferson County Horse Council, Arvada Area Horsemen's Association, as well as all community equestrians with a need and desire for access to an indoor facility.

With the Jeffco Fairgrounds again at risk of development steps need to be taken to secure spaces to preserve and celebrate Arvada's agricultural and western heritage. Significant expansion of community access and events at the Indoor Equestrian Center is top priority. AAHA, JCHC and Jeffco 4-H organizations are looking to review and endorse proposals who meet these goals and visions.

Support ag, support our western heritage, support our lifestyle.
