Friday is a Day of Rest for our Animals

Friday at the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair is a day of rest for our animals as they prepare for our last big show on Saturday, the 4-H Lamb and Heifer show. This show will involve youth from all over North Carolina and is second biggest to the goat show each year. As we prepare for that show we are just kicking back and enjoying the sights and sounds of the fair this night.

One of the neat things we were able to do today with a little down time was say thank you to some folks. We presented Star Family Circus and J&J Amusements with official 4-H Certificates of Appreciation for their support of our 4-H Centennial Activities at the fair. Star Family Circus allowed us to put an answer for our 4-H Scavenger Hunt on their fence in front of the stage and J&J amusements let us put two answers up, one on the ferris wheel and fun slide. They were particularly supportive of our efforts and happy to help out in our celebration and we really appreciate their efforts.

The 4-H Scavenger Hunt was 10 questions about 4-H. Each question had clues to find the next answer. Several youth found the answers and will receive a free 4-H t-shirt provided by the fair. The winners of t-shirts include: Maurice R., Tarangie G., Dillon M., Cierra W., and more.

In case you missed it in the Robesonian, our County Extension Director, Everett Davis, did a fantastic article about the fair and 4-H. Make sure you take a moment to read it. It might even make you want to join 4-H.

Stay tuned to the 4-H blog as we give you the highlights of the 4-H lamb and heifer show...coming up soon.
