Winter Enrichment

6 Richmond County 4-H teens started their 4-H year off by attending Winter Enrichment recently.  The event was held on the campus of Sandhills Community College in Moore County.  It brought together 4-H'ers from the South Central Extension District which includes 15 counties.  Nearly 90 youth from across the district gathered to conduct business meetings, attend workshops, meet new friends and have a good time.  

In addition to our South Central District Reporter Courtney Miller, Richmond County had a strong attendance including Nathan Ezzell, Jade McAllister, Logan Northcutt, Sarah Tyler and Hannah Webb.  Courtney taught a workshop on scrapbooking in which attendees helped to build the District 4-H Scrapbook.   Other workshops offered included Green to the Extreme, 4-H Ambassador 101 and Biofuel Blast.

This, and other 4-H events are supported by contributions to the United Way of Richmond County and fund raising events including the 4-H Auction & Plate Sale.  The Auction and Plate Sale is scheduled for March 5th at Browder Park in Rockingham, NC.  We will be selling spaghetti plates at $6 from 5-7 with the auction starting at 7 pm.  Iron Horse Auction Co, Inc have agreed to donate their services for the event and we are currently collecting items from local businesses and community members.  To make a donation or schedule an item pick-up, please call 997-8255 or email michelle_stumbo@ncsu.edu. 

We are very proud of our teens and look forward to a great 4-H year to come.  To take a look at all the pictures from Teen Retreat, click here!
