The grand for the day went to Heather Rearick who won a model horse blanket embroidered with “Minnie Whinnies”. The reserve for the day went to Carly Rudy who won a small model horse.

The Southern Pride 4-H club was excited to share and celebrate National 4-H week October 3rd -9th. Several of the club members visited all four of the Elementary Schools in Southern Huntingdon County on Friday October the 8th. The reason for their visit was to share the meaning of the 4-H program and also to educate the grade school students about what 4-H is. At each grade school Leader Carrie Anderson spoke to students about National 4-H week and how children and youth ages 8-18 can get involved. Carrie stressed the importance of finding the right club to join by selecting a project and then finding a club close to their home. Huntingdon County has a wide variety of clubs offering several projects from Livestock, to gardening, to small crafts. Parent Volunteer Jessica Whitsel prepared a mini slide show for students to view while members explained and talked about projects and skills learned. The slide show had pictures of Community Service project (adopt-a-highway), Community awareness (parades) and pictures of several members with their club projects at the fair.

Members Elizabeth Scott and Camden Woodward spoke to students about leading meetings and being an officer of the club. They explained their duties as officers and that the club is run and decisions are made by the members/youth. Member Brandon Beam explained and talked about his Dairy Beef project. He talked to the students about what he needed to care for his livestock project and how he got involved at the Fairground with cleaning the barns and getting involved with community projects. Members Katie and Keith Anderson showed students some other options for projects other than livestock. Katie talked about her sewing projects and the club Motto, “To make the Best Better”. Keith Anderson showed the students his ceramic projects. Keith also talked about his sheep project and how he can use the wool for a non-livestock project in making wool items and crafts. Kalee Anderson also shared her floral arrangement project and explained different options for that project. At each of the four Grade schools Elementary students that are members of the Southern Pride 4-H Club had the opportunity to share their 4-H experience and projects. From Spring Farms School the following members shared projects, Hanna Booher – flowers; Brooks Walker and Mckenzie Yohn – Rabbits; Kolton Gaff – Sports Fishing and Mikara Anderson – Vet Science and Public Speaking.

Southern Pride 4-H Club

On May 15th, Keith Anderson and Jocelynn Whitsel attended the 4-H Forestry Field Days at Laurel Haven Conservation Center in Julian, PA. The youth were introduced to the skills that foresters use on the job. They spent a block of time during the morning comparing a variety of products and how they are related to wood or wood products. The next session involved learning how a forester measures distance and learning to use a compass. After they learned these two basic steps, they were then able to plot out an area similar to a boundary line. After lunch they set out on a hike, they learned how to identify four different trees, saw a ruffed grouse, and checked out the area where the older kids were competing and what their competition included. The day came to a close with a presentation on charcoal making and an awards ceremony. Jocelynn said her favorite part of the day was "when we learned how to use a compass." Keith's favorite for the day was "learning how to identify trees and the hike when we saw the ruffed grouse."

We had so much fun at the Shirley Home for our last community service project, that we are thinking of doing it again.

On September 18, we are showing other kids the joy of being in 4-H at the McClure Bean Soup Festival. Our group is so excited to do this because everyone knows the thrill of when they first partidpated in a show and joined a club who enjoyed the same things they do. I know I would like nothing more than to help another kid feel the same feeling I had when I first joined. Who knows, maybe people who are not thinking about it will be inspired and join. Anyway, we have decided to have soup sale in the fall. When the meeting ended, Gavi adjourned the meeting and Kody Harshberger seconded it.
