Howard County 4-H Youth Getting Back to Normal

What are some of the activities Howard County youth participated in this spring?

Nashville, Ark. – Howard County 4-H has been getting back to normal the past few months. Since February, youthgreen 4-H clover logo have had the opportunity to participate in a number of events and activities, such as Bread and Cookie Contest, Arkansas Food Challenge, Dairy and Egg Contest, County O’Rama, Howard County Barbeque Contest/Workshop, and four At Home 4-H Educational Kits.

We also had two state winning recordbook submissions: Sarah L. with her STEM: Animal Science, and Killis W. with his STEM: Engineering and Technology.

Two youth were named Arkansas Teen Stars: Sara L. and Adelene W. To be recognized for this honor, you must be able to demonstrate how you are an active member of 4-H in your county, district, and state and give a description of the project work you have been doing over the past years.

Allie M. and Alex T. have been selected for 4-H State Ambassador interviews that will take place in June. During this process they will sit through an interview, give a 4-H promotional speech, and answer questions that pertain to their project area.

We are proud of all the hard work all the youth have been doing during this time of nontraditional 4-H programming due to Covid-19.

Howard County 4-H has a busy summer planned as we continue to get back to normal in-person programs. This summer we have a wide variety of programs such as cloverbud day camps, more food challenge workshops, quilt trail workshop, livestock day camps, and cooking schools to name a few.
