It's January which means in 4-H terms our 4-H clubs are kicking off the year with their first meetings. The first club...drum roll please...is the St. Paul's 4-H Pony club. This was our club of the year for 2009. Parents, members and volunteers came together to get the first club meeting paperwork out of the way and begin preparations for the District Horse Bowl. Mrs. Burney also gave each child their very own pony to take home and take care of. Before you have a coronary and stop breathing...the ponies are the kind that expand in water and will get as big as the child wants. It is Mrs. Burney's way of teaching them responsibility for caring for something of their very own as they learn the responsibility of taking care of animals. After all the fun everyone ran outside to ride the ponies, miniature horse and check out the clubs new rescue horse. Mrs. Burney is promising lots of new fun projects for the 2010 year, one of which you will get to see at the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair.
This club meets every Saturday from 2-5. For more information about this club please contact the 4-H staff at (910) 671-3276. To see the schedule check our 4-H calendar and list of events on our Robeson County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service web site.
