Bein' Green in 2016!

  Granted it might not felt like spring with a balmy 43 degrees outside but by the calendar this Earth Day celebration was right in the middle of Spring so 4-H decided to be in the middle of this event.  Lumberton Recreation Department along with the Robeson County Cooperative Extension Center sponsored an Earth Day celebration called "Bein' Green in 2016!"  The event that took place at the soccer fields in front of Carroll Middle School was a cornucopia of fun, green ideas, and the opportunity to make a change and lessen your carbon foot print.  Kids had fun activities like bouncy houses, making a garden in a glove, or even a great coloring activity.  Parents had the opportunity to win garden friendly door prizes, learn about pallet gardening, and learn about the Master Gardener Program from real life Master Gardeners.  The Robeson County Clean and Green group was there with great information and bags of useful items.  All in all it was a cool day to be green!
