Dear 4-H Member, 

In these uncertain days we just want you to know that Sevier County 4-H is still here for you. We care about what is going on in your life and want to keep you informed of 4-H opportunities.  Just as school has been canceled for the remainder of the year, all 4-H events scheduled between now and July 31 have been canceled.  This includes the 4-H photography contest, the cookie contest, the summer photography workshop, Junior Master Gardener Camp held locally. Along with the following 4-H camps held outside Sevier County, Junior 4-H Camp, Junior High 4-H Camp, Fashion & Design Conference, Electric and Quilt Camp. If you have questions on any camps call 865-654-0552. 

Not canceled is your opportunity to submit your 4-H records, project folders and Golden Eagle forms for judging and recognition. We want you to turn in any 4-H records you have completed for the year.  This would also include Secretary’s turning in your completed Secretary Books and Service Learning Chairs turning in a scrapbook of your clubs service projects.  The easiest way to submit your 4-H material is to mail it to Sevier County 4-H, 752 Old Knoxville Hwy., Sevierville TN 37862. We will accept 4-H material until June 10. Note the 4-H office is currently closed and we are not sure when it will open back for normal business hours. If your teacher has your folder at school and you cannot get it from them they can turn it in for you. If you missed completing activities for the Golden Eagle because of COVID19 these will not be counted against you. Note it is important that you have your name, address and phone number on all materials submitted so we can get awards back to you.  Also make sure to include a t-shirt size on the Golden Eagle form and do not worry about getting your teacher to sign the form.  

Please use this contact information if you need help in submitting your materials or have other questions. Call 865-654-0552 or email gturner2@utk.edu  Note I cannot return an email from your student sevier.org email so use another email address.  

Please follow us on FACEBOOK at UT Extension Sevier County for information about 4-H opportunities.  

Again, we want you to know that 4-H cares.  We look forward to the day when we can see you face to face at a 4-H meeting, workshop, activity or camp. For sure we will look forward to seeing you in a 4-H meeting at school in October. Again make every effort to get us your 4-H project folder and Golden Eagle forms.  

If you have other questions or we can assist in any way or best contact is by phone at 865-654-0552 or email with your non sevier.org email to gturner2@utk.edu
