In that 5-8 year old category under animal science are Logan Spivey and Ashley Rogers both of Twin State 4-H Club, Christian Tice of the St. Pauls' 4-H Pony Club, and Kashawn Cooper of the Voices in Praise 4-H Club. Amaria Rogers of the Young Leaders Club complete a Public Speaking project record book while Jasmine McBride of the Voices in Praise 4-H Club completed three books in Consumer and Family Science, Environment and Natural Resources and Community Service. The 9-10 year old age division is competitive and these 4-H'ers did a great job. In Animal Science Caleb Cox of the Dirty Rascals Junior Master Gardener Club took Gold, Jordon Rogers of the Twin States 4-H Club took Silver and Ally Spivey also from Twin States took Bronze, Melquan Dinnerson of the Voices in Praise 4-H Club got a participant ribbon for his efforts. In Community Service Dillon McCartney took gold while Caleb Cox took silver. Both boys are members of the Dirty Rascals Junior Master Gardener 4-H Club. Caleb also took gold in Communication Arts while Dillon Received gold for his Leadership and Environmental & Natural Resources books. Rounding out the 9-10 year olds was Maurice Rogers of the Lightening Electric Club with his gold medal in Expressive Arts. Two gold medals for the Junior 11-12 year old division. Megan Hurst of the Horsin Around Horse Club got first for her Healthy Lifestyles book and Zaire Baker took first for her Expressive Arts book. The Senior division (ages 14-19) saw three gold medals and one silver. From the Young Leaders 4-H Club Yazmin Washington took two gold medals for her Leadership and Community Service Books. Kelsey Bullard of the Footprints 4-H club got gold for her Animal Science book while Juston Locklear received Silver. For those not at the meeting the checks are on their way to your mailbox so keep your eyes open.
Members parents and volunteers also voted to continue 4-H Family Nights so we will have our next one on May 14, at our office. The program will include dinner and a family project so keep your ears to the ground, and eyes on the mail more details are coming.
Joyce Peay was on hand to tell us about her trips to New York and what the Early Show Singing Family Face off was really like. Keorie McMillan even got up and talked about his first airplace ride and trip to New York accompanying Joyce on the final round. She thanked everyone for their support and said that CBS is talking with the boys about possibly recording for them.
