4-H SHOOTING SPORTS GRANTS AWARDED TO COUNTY PROGRAMS

Grant funds have been awarded to eight counties for starting or

strengthening 4-H Shooting Sports programs. Those counties chosen by the

selection committee to receive funds are Blount, Crockett, Decatur, Giles,

Hamilton, Loudon, Obion, and Shelby. Those counties will be notified

separately of the exact amount of the award.

A total of 21 counties submitted applications, eight of which were

first-time applicants. This is the most ever received for this particular

grant program.

The grant monies will be used for the purchase of materials, equipment and

recognition for participants and/or training for leaders. Those receiving

grants are encouraged to pursue matching funds from community resources to

strengthen the potential for future funding.

The National Wild Turkey Federation is the donor for these grants funds.

Counties should thank their local chapters for their sponsorship.

Congratulations to those awarded grant funds, and thanks to all who

applied.
