Youth Field Day
Author: Ted Johnson
Planning Unit: Lee County CES
Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming
Plan of Work: Local Youth Life Skills Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Lee County Extension Council has conducted a youth field day on the last Friday in September for the past few years. The objective is to introduce youth to farming and new opportunities. This year they concentrated on animals, country ham curing, observations of tractors, wagon rides, and arts. Over 750 youth and adults attended and gained knowledge on animals, electric safety, and drone uses. Over half the youth that attended could not identify the animals we had present correctly. 90 percent had never seen a drone up close and watch them operate. Upcoming events will be scheduled to address these issues further.
