4-H District Activity Day

 4-H members made it happen!  District Activity Day (DAD) is an early morning and a time filled with nerves...that is until everyone is done presenting and then it feels like fun!

  This year we sent our People in Charge (PIC's) Mack Johnson and Taylor Chavis off a half hour before we hit the road.  The PIC's are in charge of getting judges for specific categories.  This year Taylor handled Arts & Communication while Mack took care of Fisheries and Wildlife.  Several of our staff and Master Gardeners were gracious enough to serve as judges in these categories.  We want to take a moment and say thank you to this group, who without their help DAD would not happen,

    Our delegation hit the road at 7:30 am and arrived at Lenoir Community College Just after 9:30 am.  We got our packet and did our best to et everyone to their respective rooms for competition.  A special thank you to all the adults who came with our youth that day to make sure they had a support system with them as they competed on the district level.  

  After lunch it was time for the awards ceremony.
