Getting Folksy with 4-H


If you have not run into a member of the St. Paul's 4-H Pony club this week you have not heard about their exciting meeting this past weekend. Instead of the traditional club meeting and working on the horse skeleton they got folksy about 4-H in a big way.
The club set up a booth at the annual North Carolina Folks Art Festival, in St. Paul's. About 17 members and parents turned out to man the booth during the day. They kids talked about 4-H and they gave out brochures and told anyone and everyone who would listen about all the fun they have in 4-H.
You can read more about this event in the Robesonian and St. Paul's Review newspapers. Libby Burney, the organizational club leader for the St. Paul's 4-H Pony Club said that they had a fantastic time and the kids played and learned while marketing our 4-H program. We are hoping that this was such fun that they will continue to support this great event in future years.
