4-H Year in Review

Image
This might not have been one of our record photo years thanks to COVID.  However thanks to parents and volunteers we did get some pretty good shots during our programs.  Please sit back and enjoy our 4-H Year in Review Video .  We think it captures a lot of smiles and good times from this 4-H year.  Special thanks to all our photographers whose thoughtfulness to share allowed this video to happen this year.  If you are having issues you can also find this video on our NC Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center Facebook page as well our our Robeson County 4-H YouTube Channel.  Both of those can also be located on our 4-H App under the social media button. From our staff to you, Happy New Year!  

Thanks to You!

2020 Gives us a Different Perspective

This article was written for the Robesonian by our own 4-H Extension Agent, Shea Ann DeJarnette. No doubt in your life you have been asked if a glass is half empty or half full? This year gave folks the opportunity to look at the empty side and not see what was actually there (aka the full side). So, let’s sit back and see if we can adjust our perspective a little. This year started off for us with our normal 4-H Club programming. We had clubs just starting to meet in February. We were bothering parents to get their paperwork done, so their children could be part of 4-H events. We went into our first big competition called 4-H County Activity Day in March where youth compete in public speaking, presentations, and outdoor cooking. It was like every other competition we have done for the last 18 years. Two days later we were on lockdown. No more face-to-face meetings with our youth or volunteers. We had 30 incubators in the schools. When schools quickly went to remote learning, we gave t...
