Success Story4-H Parade Float



4-H Parade Float

Author: Molly Jordan

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Leadership 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Youth and Volunteer Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

After an eight year hiatus from being involved in the local community's Christmas parades, the Bracken County 4-H clubs joined forces to create an entry. The theme this year was: Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child. The planning committee decided that the Bracken County 4-H's float would be Santa's Toyland. With the help of 10 youth and adults, we created Santa's workshop on a 25 foot trailer. On parade day, there were 15 youth and adults that represented Bracken County 4-H. We even had two goats escorted by 4-H members. At the first parade in Brooksville, we won first place. The following Saturday we appeared in the Augusta parade where we also took first place. The community was reintroduced to the 4-H program of Bracken County and was able to see that we are still going strong in our community.
