October 7-13 is National 4-H Week Week kicked off with 4-H Fun Run. Winners were Josiah Peterson, Ann Young, Welsey Rose, Josiah Petterson, Rebecca Schmidt, Ann Young, Mark Pearson and Tony Knovalin Click on headline for full story with photo(s) By Tony Rose October 7-13 is National 4-H Week, and Adair County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. To kick off National 4-H week, the Adair County 4-H held a 4 Miles 4 Hills for 4-H Fun Run on Saturday, October 6, 2012. Winners from the Fun Run were: Overall Male - Josiah Peterson; Overall Female - Ann Young; 10 and under Year old Male - Wesley Rose: 11 Years old Male - Josiah Peterson; 36-40 Year old Female - Rebecca Schmidt; 41-45 Year old Female - Ann Young, 41-45 Year old Male - Mark Pearson, 51-55 Year old Male - Tony Konvalin. We wanted to say Thank you to everyone who participated and volunteer to help make our Fun Run a successful event. Recent findings from Tufts University's 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-H'ers receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities. In Adair County, more than 1500 4-H members and 150 volunteers are involved in 4 H. The 2012 National Science Experiment, 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge, explores how robots can be used to preserve and protect the environment, while offering a glimpse into the future of science, technology, engineering and math. 4-H youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. For more information about the Adair County 4-H program contact Tony Rose, County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development at the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, Adair at 270-384-2317 or trose@uky.edu. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin - Tony Rose This story was posted on 2012-10-08 15:29:52
