September 17, 2021

We are wrapping up our current 4-H year and ready to begin the new year!

A recap this past summer… workshops, conference, and projects.

– We offered eighteen Parent and Me and six Adventure Awaits workshops, highlighting the following areas: cooking, STEM, arts, construction, and natural resources.

– Two of our Senior 4-Hers attended the State 4-H Congress held in Clemson.

– One Senior competed at the National Shooting Sports Competition held in Nebraska.

– Introduced 4-H and participated with Summer Reading in conjunction with Saluda School District for four weeks in July.

– One Junior participated in the State Garden Project.

It was a great year, and we are now planning for the new 4-H year!

This year’s theme for Saluda County 4-H is “Get Carried away with 4-H”.

We have numerous opportunities coming for youth in Saluda to get involved in this upcoming 4-H year.

–          On September 8th and 9th, we will be hosting the Saluda County 4-H Livestock Show.

 We will have a Meat Goat, Beef, Poultry, Rabbit and Dairy Heifer shows.

A coloring contest for all the local elementary schools to participate in will be displayed at the livestock show.
