Week October 2-8 , 1 983 Support Your Local 4-H Club And Volunteer Leaders ? . Each year, the first week in October is proclaimed Na tional 4-H Week. During this week, 4-Hers, leaders and 4-H . -supporters are saluted for their many hours spent at mak ?ing 4-H activities successful and visible. .? This week is also a good time to reflect back over the past year's activities. Over the past months, 4-Hers and other youth have par - ticipated in a "Summer Adventure Program" which was - oo-sponsored by the county's library, extension office and > "recreation department. They were involved in adventures ranging from cooking to basketmaking and birdhouses to snakes. Classes and seminars were taught by many dedicated volunteers who had an interest in youth. 4-H demonstrations have also stirred interest with local 4-Hers. During the past year, approximately 20 youths were involved in demonstrations. Of that number, ten have been district winners and one has been a runner-up at State 4-H Congress in the crafts demonstration. In addition to annual 4-H demonstration workshops, one big event that helped stir interest was the 1982 District Ac tivity Day held in Perquimans County. Young people and adults got first hand experience of how well our youth can perform when encouraged. Another outstanding phase has been youth participation in The Albemarle Livestock Show. In 1983 Perquimans had the largest number of participants (53) in this show. Honors they received included Reserve Grand Cham pion Steer, Grand Champion Steer, Grand Champion Pen )f Three Hogs, 2nd Sr. Showmanship Steer and 3rd Jr Showmanship Lambs and Hogs. Other 4-H livestock activities include the 1983 District Horse Show, hosted by our county horse club; Livestock Judging, Fitting and Showmanship Demonstration Day and the N.E.NC. Heifer Show. Numerous workshops ? macrame, cooking, stenciling and cross stitch ? have been provided for youth. One result has been three youth who sell their crafts in the an nual Albemarle Craftsman Fair. They have excelled in a craft as well as making a profit from their hardwork. Other 4-H related activities include monthly club pro grams which are often conducted by local resource people, 4-H camp, congress and district retreats. Although 4-H in Perquimans has grown, we know the backbone of any 4-H program is its deidcated volunteer leaders. We Salute You! Photos Courtesy of Perquimans Co.
