DAD!! The 4-H Kind!

There are many definitions for the letters DAD. In North Carolina 4-H, they tend to mean District Activity Day! In the South Central District, this event draws youth for the 15 county to compete on a wide range of topics.

Several members of Richmond County 4-H recently showed their presentation skills by competing at District Activity Day. The event was held at East Montgomery High School in Montgomery County, North Carolina. Three Richmond County youth showcased their talents along with over 140 other members of the South Central District.

Kristi Reep (pictured receiving her award from SC District Director Dr. Donald Cobb) competed in the 9-10 Fashion & Fabric Care category. Her presentation was titled “Granny’s Button Jar” and she demonstrated how to sew on a button. She was awarded a Gold medal and was asked to compete at State 4-H Congress in Raleigh.

Sarah Tyler competed in the 14-18 Safety category. Her presentation was titled “Fire Safety” and she spoke on fire prevention & what to do in case you are ever faced with a fire. She was awarded a Silver medal and was asked to compete at State 4-H Congress in Raleigh.

Last, but certainly not least, Alana McQueen showcased her ability in the talent show. Alana clogged to “Charlie Brown.” Alana was awarded a Blue ribbon for her efforts.

Special thanks to all the family and friends who came out to support these outstanding young people! They would not be able to achieve so much without your support. Thanks also to Courtney Miller and Mary Bowles, who volunteered their time to serve as room hosts! We are looking forward to seeing the great things these Richmond County youth do in the future!
