Randolph 4-H’ers Honored at Annual 4-H Congress

Two Randolph County 4-H’ers received one of the highest honors a North Carolina
4-H’er can achieve during the annual 4-H Congress.

Congress is the high point of the 4-H year, bringing young people from across the state to the North Carolina State University campus and Raleigh for a week of activity. This year’s Congress was July 21-25.

Rebecca Craven, 18, daughter of Greg and Cynthia Craven of Asheboro, and Terri Lane Frazier, 16, daughter of Craig and Kirsten Frazier of Sophia, were inducted into the 4-H Honor Club. New Honor Club members were tapped during a candlelight ceremony Monday night, July 21. Membership in the Honor Club is based on service to the 4-H program, leadership, moral standards, 4-H activities and project achievement. Less than one-half of 1 percent of North Carolina 4-H’ers are selected for membership each year. Members must be at least 16 years old and have a minimum of three years
4-H experience.

Both Rebecca and Terri are members of the Happy Heifers 4-H Dairy Club. Rebecca, who is homeschooled, has been active in the 4-H program for 12 years, while Terri, a
10th grader at Randleman High School, has been active in 4-H for 10 years.

Approximately 800 4-H’ers, volunteer leaders and North Carolina Cooperative Extension agents attended 4-H Congress.

The 4-H program is the youth education program of North Carolina Cooperative Extension, based at North Carolina State and North Carolina A&T State universities. More than 204,000 young people between the ages of 5 and 19 participate in North Carolina 4-H activities each year with the help of 19,000 adult and youth volunteers.
