Anson County 4-H Livestock Show Back in Action!

The Anson Heifer Show was hosted in Ansonville, NC and all parties were happy to resume an in-person livestock show.  It is always amazing to see the young men and women confidently leading around six- and seven-hundred-pound animals as they are judged and receive feedback from the judges and this show was no exception! The event included 22 young people from Anson and surrounding counties. These youth brought with them more than 20 beef heifers to compete in the showmanship and breed classes.

Anson Youth Leadership Part 1

On Monday, September 21, 2021 H.O.L.L.A!, The Anson Youth Leadership Academy of The Caraway Foundation, and Anson County 4-H partnered to host part one of the Anson Youth Leadership Forums.  JF Harward and Tanya Chance were an awesome panelist, giving great insight and advice to the youth on how to be leaders in their community.  There were more than 25 participants and the event was a success!  We can’t wait until part two!
