National 4-H Week has been a longstanding tradition for the youth development organization. In fact, the National 4-H Week we celebrate today doesn’t look much different than it did in its beginning more than 90 years ago.
According to the National 4-H History Preservation Program, a special week designated to celebrate 4-H has been marked on calendars each year since 1926. The first known documentation of a 4-H week was the proclamation of “Club Week” by Minnesota Governor Theodore Christianson to promote 4-H club work.
Each year, Oklahoma 4-H members, staff and volunteers carry on the tradition of National 4-H Week by promoting 4-H and engaging communities in a celebration of the nation’s largest youth development organization.

To kick off National 4-H Week, McClain County 4-H President, Lucy Wilson, Vice President, Wyatt Nikodym, and Oklahoma State 4-H President, Hunter Haxton, met with the McClain County Commissioners to sign the 4-H Proclamation declaring October 4-10, 2020, as National 4-H Week in Oklahoma and commends the Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development Program of the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and the 4-H members, volunteers leaders, supporters and Extension Educators who have made the program a success.

PURCELL DOWNTOWN TRICK OR TREAT 2020 UPDATE:
Out of care and concern for the community and families of Purcell and surrounding communities, the Heart of Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce board voted to not host a downtown trick or treat event this year.

“Our main concern is to help kids have a great Halloween in a way that will also help our community stay healthy,” Baker said. “To do that, we decided that the Chamber’s best role this year is to promote the businesses and organizations that are having their own, smaller events in town.”

“We know that this year will be different than many years, but our hope is that this will help keep Halloween fun and safe for all our families,” Baker said.

If your organization is planning any Halloween festivities – whether that is handing out candy at your business, holding a Trunk or Treat at your organization, or some other celebration – please send information to elisabeth@theheartofok.com by October 21 so the Chamber can promote your event.
