4-H Members Receive Fair Scholarships

                           

  And the winner is.....  When two of our 4-H members and their parents were invited to the monthly meeting of the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair they had no idea that they were going to walk away a little richer that night.  "It gives me great joy to make this announcement each year," said Allen Faircloth the President of the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair.  The fair offers a college scholarship each year to a young person who is academically deserving, fills out the appropriate application, and is involved with the actual process of putting the fair together.  "This year I am pleased to announce that not one but three applicants have received a scholarship from our fair; Christopher Bullard, Korina Pittman, and Zach White."
  All three winners and their parents were thrilled about the news and stood up for pictures with President Faircloth, receiving their checks from the fair board.  Christopher Bullard, a long time 4-H member plans to attend UNCP this fall and major in Biology.  Korina Pittman, a member of the Titans 4-H Club and former County Council officer will be attending Livingstone College near Salisbury, North Carolina to study Psychology.  Zach White will be attending East Carolina University and currently plans to major in Business.  All three are members of the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair's Junior Fair Board.
  That wasn't all the news.  "I am also pleased to say we were able to forward two of the applications to the North Carolina Association of Agricultural Fairs (NCAOAF) who just this afternoon informed me that both Korina Pittman and Zach White will be receiving scholarships from our state board as well."  Upon hearing the news Korina and her mother burst into joyful tears and Zach and his parents could not contain their excitement over the news of a second scholarship.
  We would like to congratulate all three recipients on a job well done and wish them well as they head off to college in the fall.
