Comal County recognizes National 4‑H Week; local 4‑H president thanks commissioners

The Comal County Commissioners Court on Oct. 1 proclaimed Oct. 4–10, 2026 as National 4‑H Week across the county.

Brooklyn Howell, who identified herself as Comal County 4‑H county council president and a 14‑year member, thanked the court for recognizing 4‑H Week and praised the program for leadership and community service opportunities. “4‑H has given me and so many other members opportunities to grow as leaders, serve our community, and make lifelong connections,” Howell said.

Commissioner Crownover moved to approve the proclamation, which passed by voice/hand-raise. County officials encouraged youth participation and public support of 4‑H activities.

The action was ceremonial and did not include changes to county funding at the meeting.
