Outcome: Initial Outcome
During the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, Nelson County 4-H agents felt that it was a priority to host an awards ceremony, accommodating Covid guidelines, rather than cancelling the event. With collaboration with the 4-H Adult Council, arrangements were made to create a drive-in movie atmosphere for the event. Agents incorporated state officers to share greetings, a performance from the state level performing arts troop, individually packaged popcorn and water for snacks, as well as their own greetings and awards presentation. The drive-In awards ceremony provided “normalcy” for members, volunteers, and their families. Member, volunteers, and families were grateful for an event which allowed recognition to sum up a year that otherwise, had not been so normal. Agents received many texts and comments sharing how much the event meant to their families to feel as if they were still an important part of the 4-H organization even though the pandemic may have made people feel distant at times.
