Can you survive the SE District 4-H Winter Fling?   Well our Robeson County 4-H delegation came home with a new set of skills thanks to the Survivor Edition of SED Winter Fling.  This was the first district event for most of our Delegation, except for our state officer, Kennedi Lyons, who did her best to ease everyone into the fun of the event.  This year's fling, which is for our 4-H teens, took place in Duplin County. The morning started off easily playing games and giving everyone a chance to get to know each other.  We had a group trivia challenge,  and some team building exercises.  Fun thinks like the human knot, Rock Paper Scissors (on steroids), Board games, Corn Hole and more.
