Save the date for the first 4-H Family Fishing Weekend to take place on July 17-19 at Camp Tyler on Lake Tyler just outside of Tyler (Smith County). This weekend is open to any 4-H family with a current enrollment profile. Various training options will be available for all ages throughout the weekend. These trainings will help adults and youth add to a 4-H Sportfishing project in their home county. However, the weekend is for fishing and some families may want to just spend their time fishing together. No matter what activities you would like to do, the weekend is for family, fishing and fellowship. Registration will open on 4-H Connect from May 15 - June 19.
