It is March and things are wonderful because we are seeing your smiling faces again. In case you missed it we had County Activity Day this weekend and we are proud of each youth who got up there and gave it their best shot. So proud that we can say 100% of those registered participated this year which is the first time that has happened. Also, everyone has the opportunity to move forward to District Competition this year. District Activity Day (DAD) will be held June 24th in Kinston at Lenoir Community College. For those eligible, please don't forget you need to sign up with Wendy Maynor for a practice session well in advance of DAD to attend. Ms. Wendy can be reached at wrmaynor@ncsu.edu.

-Animal Science- It's that time to sign up for animal science. This is the program where youth get animals to raise and will show them at the fair. To be eligible for the 4-H animal science project youth must be active in the 4-H Online system. Youth may complete up to 3 different animal projects. If you are showing your own animal you must complete an application and email a photo of the animal to 4-H Extension Agent Shea Ann DeJarnette at sadejarn@ncsu.edu. This animal counts as one of your three projects. However you do not need to pay the registration fee for the animal. Each child participating in the project will receive an Animal Science polo shirt. If you are showing your own animal (applies to goats, rabbits, cattle or lambs) and none provided by 4-H there is just a $15 for the shirt. register you can go to 4-H Animal Science under programs on the app and click register or click on this link.
