As we embrace the start of 2025, we are excited to share some wonderful updates and accomplishments from our Fairfield County 4-H program. The fall of 2024 brought new opportunities, clubs, and enthusiastic youth working hard to make a difference. Here’s a look at the latest highlights and events that are shaping the future of 4-H in our community.
Cookie Co-Op Series – September 2024
In September, four talented young ladies participated in the Cookie Co-Op Series, a program designed to sharpen baking skills and build teamwork. After a series of workshops and practice sessions, these young bakers entered the South Carolina State Fair Cookie Competition. Their hard work and creativity paid off, as the group earned impressive results: two red ribbons and two blue ribbons! This achievement is a testament to their dedication and baking expertise. Congratulations to all participants – we are so proud of your accomplishments!
Gingerbread Competition – December 2024
In December, Fairfield County 4-H hosted the Gingerbread Competition at Christmas, where families came together to compete in decorating the most imaginative and festive gingerbread house. The event was a fun-filled evening of creativity, laughter, and holiday cheer. A special congratulations to Benjamin Lewis, the winner of the competition, for his impressive design and attention to detail. Thank you to all the families who participated – your teamwork and holiday spirit made this event a memorable one! We cannot wait to host the competition again next year!
