Wilkes County 4-H would like to extend an invitation to all 4-Her’s to help participate in the North Carolina 4-H Centennial Celebration, “We Are 4-H”. Few organizations ever reach their centennial year. But, as you know, in 2009 the North Carolina 4-H Program will celebrate 100 years. From its humble beginnings in northeastern North Carolina as corn growing clubs, North Carolina 4-H
has grown into the largest youth development program in the state. Today's 4-H is a mirror
image demographically of the youth living in North Carolina between the ages of 5 and 19. North Carolina 4-H now serves more than 239,000 young people yearly and 900 youth
annually in Wilkes County. The Wilkes County 4-H will be holding events throughout the year in honor of the landmark achievement. The program is putting together a display of archives and artifacts of 4-H in Wilkes County from the past 100 years and would like to request anyone with items that could be placed in such a display please contact the Wilkes County 4-H at 336-651-7331 by February 13th. Items needed include photographs, scrapbooks, newspaper articles, ribbons, awards, and any other 4-H memorabilia.
