DAD - The 4-H Kind!

4-H District Activity Day (DAD) is an event that you have to see to believe. Around 200 4-H members (75 first timers), along with about 300 agents, judges, parents, friends & family gathered at Anson Middle School in Anson County to participate in presentation, public speaking and talent contests against 4-H’ers from across the South Central Extension District.

 
Three Richmond County 4-H’ers were on hand for the event. Two competed in presentations and two were part of the talent show. Nathan Ezzell took home the Gold for his presentation on How Bees Affect Farmers in the Bugs and Bees category while Santiago Acuña Robinson also won Gold in the Horse category for his presentation about Care of the Race Horse. Sarah Tyler and Santiago Acuña Robinson both participated in Talent. Sarah mimed to “He Knows My Name” while Santiago sang the song “Let Me Hold You”.

Nathan will be competing at the State Presentation Finals held during 4-H Congress in Raleigh in a few weeks. Santiago will be competing at the State Presentation Finals held during the 4-H State Horse Show in Raleigh, also in a few weeks.

Special thanks to all of the parents and family who support these 4-H’ers as they complete their projects! Good luck to everyone competing on the State level!  Special thanks for Tiffanee Conrad-Acuna for attending DAD with the Richmond County delegation & for writting this.
