Saturday, Dec. 12th ~ Plymouth County 4-H Horse Bowl and Hippology contest

The Plymouth County 4-H Horse Bowl and Hippology contest will be held this Saturday, December 12th from 10 AM - 1 PM at the Hanson Senior Center.  The Hanson Senior Center and Hanson Library are in the same location at 132 Maquan Street, Hanson.  Directions are below. 

 

We will start with the knowledge test, move on to Hippology and finish with the junior and senior buzzer boards.  We will need help correcting the tests once the kids have finished so we can get them into order for buzzer board. 

 

Please let us know via email by Tuesday if you are coming.  We need to give Plymouth County 4H our numbers on Wednesday so they can prepare enough materials.

   

All 4-H'ers are invited to attend and may participate in one or all contests, all 4-H'ers must be currently enrolled to participate.  You do not need to own, lease or ride a horse to participate.
