| Impact Report | 2011 Northeast District Contests Colfax County hosted the 2011 Northeast District Contests. The theme was “Growing Up Green with 4-H.” Countless hours were spent planning and organizing with more than 40 volunteers. Eight counties brought 64 youth to the contests. Colfax County had 14 youth participate, that is up from 4 last year. Colfax County youth were in wildlife, entomology, horticulture, favorite foods, prepared public speaking, horse judging, consumer decision making, poetry, livestock judging, and livestock skill a thon. Agent was superintendent for the livestock judging and the horse judging contests. Youth increased mastery and independence related to teamwork, character and critical thinking as evidenced by team camaraderie, positive sportsmanship, and completion of project related activities. In addition to the contests, Agent and Home-Economist worked with different volunteers and agencies to put on workshops. A past State 4-H Officer came and put on a “Having Fun with 4-H Games & Songs” workshop. Game and Fish sent an Officer that put on an Archery workshop, and our Home-Economist with the help of Volunteers hosted a NM Flavor Projects Workshop. Roughly 60 people attended these workshops. For an evening activity, Agent had worked with the City of Raton Parks & Recreation Department to arrange for the 4-H to be able to use the newly opened Regional Aquatic Center. So kids were able to swim and one of the Colfax County 4-H clubs, Johnson Mesa 4-H, helped us cook hamburgers and hotdogs in the park adjacent to the Aquatic Center. We served about 70 people. |
