Robeson County 4-H Is on the Map

It was a day of traveling, all the way to Craven Community College.  Although New Bern is a great place to visit we were there to win.  That's right it was 4-H District Activity Day.  The day that 18 counties come together to see who the best of the best is in Public Speaking and Presentations and determine who will represent the district at state.

This year Robeson County 4-H had 11 participants.  Our participants represented; Young Leaders, Inspirational Youth Leaders, Explore NC, Dirty Rascals JMG, Horsin' Around Animal Science Club, and Dirty Dozen 4-H Shooting Sports Club.  More than half of these youth it was their first time presenting. We are so proud of them for over coming their personal fears, competing, and keeping their wits about them amongst veteran presenters.  Youth compete under various topics against youth in their age division; 8-10, 11-13, 14-18.  Potentially they could be competing again 32 other youth in that ages division and topic.
