4-H Goat Show

   Folks the weather prediction for Saturday, September 27 is a little frightful so let's talk about what the plans are.

  If the fair decides to remain open we will be taking in animals for the barn starting at 8 am and that will run through 11 or until everything is full.  We are asking participants with poultry to make sure they arrive prior to 11 am to make sure their birds get blood tested.

Goat weigh in for the show starts at 11 am.  We are aiming to start the show around 2 pm.  Participants need to arrive at gate 7 at the fairgrounds-which is behind the livestock building (3750 Martin Luther King Jr Drive in Lumberton).  Please note this is the plan weather permitting.  If the fair decides to close or delay opening we will determine if there is going to be a goat show on this date or if we will reschedule it for the following Saturday.

Best way for us to communicate is via this blog and our Remind App.  We have set up a 2025 Livestock Show classroom and you can access it at @9fekhc on Remind,  As soon as we know something we will share with everyone.  Our primary concern is for your safety and that of your animals that you are transporting. 

We appreciate your patience with this process.  We can't control Mother Nature, and we need to listen to work with our partners to make sure everything goes smoothly.  We will let you know as soon as we know something.

Thank you for your patience,

Shea Ann

Remembering Margaret Crites

Image
   It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of 4-H Volunteer Margaret Crites.  Margaret passed away after a brief illness on Friday night at Cape Fear Hospital.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Bruce DeHart, a brother, and grandparents who raised her.  She is survived by her father Tom Crites, brother Chris, as well as Rusty, The Pirate Jean Lafitte, Flambeaux, and host of incredible friends, coworkers, and folks that she had helped over her many years working in nonprofits.   Margaret's passion was for community and she and co-worker Jessica Drake started volunteering with our 4-H program more than 18 years ago.  They started teaching arts and crafts to our cloverbuds during 4-H Cloverbud Day Camp.  They would plan the most wonderful crafts, such as making musical instruments with paper plates and shower rings that had long ribbon curls that allowed the youth to move, play, and have the best time.  Jessica went on ...

Remembering Bobby Rogers

Image
      One of the first people I met, even before I was officially the 4-H Extension Agent in the County was Bobby Rogers.  He was one of the 4-H Volunteers asked to sit in on my presentation when I interviewed for this job.  I remember him sitting towards the back of the room, near his wife Aggie, who was the 4-H Program Associate.  He was smiling, nodding, and very supportive with his body language which put me at ease in a new and different environment.  I remember after accepting the position he came to me, smiling and said I knew it was going to be you.  I can't wait to see what you do.   Over the years Bobby was more than just a 4-H Volunteer.  Sure he came in and did carpentry workshops with the kids, ran the electric program, and taught countless volunteer workshops.  Before my tenure in the program he was a volunteer with Young Leaders 4-H Club when his children were in 4-H.  He volunteered to take 4-H members to c...
