Winterfest

On Saturday, January 8th, four Person County 4-H'ers attended the North Central District Winterfest event in Guilford County. The threat of snow did not deter these four young gentleman from a day of fun and learning. The day started off with a district meeting followed by several leadership and fun workshops. The boys first started with the Expressive Arts workshop that featured drawing using their creativity and spontaneity skills. They were given something very generic such as a bunny rabbit and told to create a masterpiece on page. They could draw whatever they wanted but they had to incorporate the bunny rabbit. The objects they used varied throughout the workshop. Then all of the boys decided to attend the District Officer workshop in the hopes that one day they decide to run for the office. While they were learning about that, I had the opportunity to observe the Cultural Workshop where the youth learned and performed a variety of dances using music that spanned over a few decades. And, the afternoon was capped off by a game of bowling at the local bowling rink. If nothing else, the boys learned that their 4-H Agent is much better at bowling than they are.
