4-H Farm Day

Author: Katie Mills

Planning Unit: Christian County CES

Major Program: 4-H Family and Consumer Science Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Improving Basic Lifeskills, Well-being, and Quality of Life

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Hopkins County 4-H partners with Independence Bank to host an annual Farm to Fork dinner.  This has proven to be a large success for fundraising, marketing 4-H, and volunteerism from 4-H youth.  Over the last three years, Hopkins County has had over 25 4-H members and volunteers to serve and clean up at the Farm to Fork event held at the Ballard Center.  Here, the 4-H members and volunteers are able to learn how to properly serve someone at a table setting, etiquette, manners, and feel the success from volunteering.  There are on average 200 people to attend the event at $76 a ticket.  Farm to Fork helps raise around $3500 for Hopkins County 4-H, markets the program, and the captive audience is able to witness the good deeds from the 4-Hers.  The guest at the event have always sang praises for how well the 4-Hers are mannered and the skills that they have.  Most ask every year when it is taking place and if they are able to help again the next year.
