The County Extension Council and Adult 4-H Program Council indicated that Leadership and Life Skills were a priority in the 4 year Plan Of Work. To address these needs, the 4-H Agent, Program Assistant, Adult 4-H Council, 4-H Members, CEC, Homemakers, schools, volunteers and homemakers worked together to implement the 4-H Caramel Apple Fundraiser. As a result, after a 2-year hiatus due to COVID-19, these 52 individuals were able to wash, stem, stick, caramel dip, package and distribute 104 bushels of apples over a 2-week period for schools and Ky Apple Festival sales. This fundraiser will provide needed monies for local 4-H programming, and an Adult 4-H Council Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 that is awarded to a selected Senior 4-H Member who has earned a qualifying 4-H Achievement Award. The fundraiser was started in the 1960's, and continues to teach our youth and volunteers needed teamwork, leadership, life skills and civic engagement.  As we wrap up reporting for 2022, planning is already underway for next year's event. Come and see us next October!
