The Cardinal 4-H club has had a busy year so far. Many of our members participated in 4-H Club Days, a public speaking competition where members can talk about projects or demonstrate how to do something. The can also sing, play an instrument or even dance. Our club members did very well and some even went to compete at the regional competition in Clay Center.

Another competition our club participated in was Gavel Games, a competition that teaches us about parliamentary procedure and how to run a meeting correctly. We had enough members take part to make up three different teams, and we all learned a lot.

Several Cardinal 4-H Members took part in the Central Kansas District Leadership Workshop.

Besides these county-wide competitions, many club members have started competing in their various project areas. Several members of our club took part in the sooting sports project and some even made it to the State competition. We’ve also had many members taking part in state-wide spring livestock shows and placing high or winning their classes with their lambs, pigs or goats.

Other cool events this spring that our club members took part in included Citizenship in Action at the Capitol in Topeka, and our District 4-H Leadership Workshop. We are excited to see what the rest of the year brings for our Cardinal 4-H Members.
