4-H Top 4 for the Week of July 6, 2020

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend celebrating the birth of the USA.  It is a hot one out there and we are doing our best to come up with some cool safe activities.  Please read below to learn more.

-If you have not downloaded the 4-H App please do so.  It is a great way to get instant reminders, you can add events to your electronic calendars, and register for programs with the click of a button.  So far everyone who has downloaded it and tried it, is pleased with how user friendly it is and how much time it saves you from having to come to the office.  To download our app, just go to the app store on your phone and download 4-H Now!  When you open that app search for Robeson County 4-H tap on it and you will be linked to us.  The download and app are free.

-We are excited to announce a brand new program.  This is a virtual 4-H Jr. County Retreat.  The event will be held virtually over Zoom and be led by our amazing teen 4-H County Council Officers.  Our youth will have the chance to work on a Citizenship project, take part in interactive Trivia Challenges, and try to work their way out of a virtual Escape Room.  The event will take place July 31, from 3-5 pm.  This event is free and open to all Robeson County 4-H members enrolled in 4-H Online.  To register please click this link:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/robeson-county-4-h-congress-registration-tickets-109689074976.  For questions please contact Shea Ann DeJarnette, 4-H Extension Agent.

-We still have spots available in our 4-H Summer Fun events;  Biotech, and Cloverbud day camp.  Please check the programs tab on the app and scroll to find the opportunity you would like to register your child for.  You can also register from our Summer Fun blog post found here:  http://robeson4-h.blogspot.com/2020/06/4-h-summer-fun-virtual-style.html

-The 4-H Showmanship Circuit has decided to go with a virtual show schedule this year.  You can learn more about that from this link.  That being said there are a couple of things we would like you to know.  This does not affect our 4-H poultry and rabbit shows at this time.  We have more time before that descion has to be made so we will keep families involved with our animal science program apprised of what happens there.  If you have any questions about this please contact Shea Ann DeJarnette. 

That is all we have for this week.  Stay Cool! We hope to see you online soon.

Thanks,

Wendy, Christy, and Shea Ann
