Centennial Dinner Program

On the evening of Tuesday, July 21, 4-H’ers from across the state met with past 4-H’ers and leaders to enjoy a dinner in celebration of NC 4-H’s Centennial Birthday. To start the evening off, everyone moved over to  the Expo Center and waited in line to get a bountiful supper consisting of many great foods. Then once everyone was settled in place ready to eat, the main program began.

There were many guest speakers from across the state who commended 4-H’ers present and past for their accomplishments and described what is planned for the next 100 years of 4-H. Also highlighting the evening were performances by members of the 4-H Performing Arts Troupe, the most remarkable one was where they sang a song from the production they were working on. Then several District Officers performed an original dance by State 4-H President Caleb Black to the song, “We Go Together” from Grease. To end the night, State Director Dr. Marshall Stewart gave a speech and led the crowd in a round of Happy Birthday for 4-H. As the crowds were leaving they were treated to a sample or two of NC 4-H’s Centennial Ice Cream, “Campfire Delight,” which was concocted by Tyrrell County 4-Hers.
