Eight Mitchell County youths attended the 4-H District Activity Day held in Cullowhee, NC on June 24, 2010. Five of these youth participated in public speaking competition by doing a demonstrated talk and public speaking on various topics. Each of the kids that participated placed in the competition. There was a gold medal winner, Jeremiah Vance, 13; three silver medal winners, Justin McMahan, 13, Chelsea Phillips, 16, and Kellyn Slotnick, 14; and a bronze medal winner, Jamie Slotnick 13. Three of the kids were the winners at the 4-H Talent Show held in April and they participated in the Entertains portion of the competition. Hayden Brewer, 14, performed a guitar solo and Tori Riddle, 10 and Courtney Thomas, 11 performed a dance act. These kids received a blue ribbon and both acts were video taped and sent to Raleigh for possible inclusion in other 4-H activities.
The gold and silver medal winners went on to compete at the 4-H Congress held in Raleigh, NC on July 20. Congress is an annual gathering of 4-Her’s from across the state. The kids participate in competitions, workshops and entertainment at NCSU. These kids worked hard and did a great job of representing the youth of our county.
