Texas Juniors Lend a Helping Hand

摘要

The Texas Junior Hereford Association and the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association join together every year for the Texas state preview show. Each year, the associations collect necessary items for in-need organizations and families, not only tohelp out, but to connect with other ways of life as well. The community service projects began in the early 1990s through the Chastain family. Originally Lee Chastain, just a young grade school student at the time, was looking for a statewide project toadd to his 4-H record hook. After doing much thinking, Lee and his family decided what better way was there to do a community service project than with the help of the fellow Texas Hereford juniors? Little did they know that 20-plus years later their idea for a community service project would become a traditional and welcoming aspect at the annual Texas state preview show.
