PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

4-H VIRTUAL SERIES

CCE Sullivan 4-H introduced a number of virtual series released on YouTube and Instagram. These programs were held when folks were not able to meet in person due to the pandemic. The topics of these presentations ranged from horticulture to arts, environmental science to outdoors skills. These videos sparked engagement and resulted in 679 views.

Kahlleigh, Kameron & Kayden participate in 4-H Poultry projects.

4-H ALUMNI REFLECTION “This past year was difficult, but all of the 4-H clubs continued to face the challenges in front of them. Everyone was able to volunteer safely and still make an impact on the community around them. I can’t wait to continue to watch the kids be resilient though the pandemic and still make such a wonderful impact on our local community.” -Maggie H. • AKC Home Manners Canine Program • Houseplant Series • Starting Veggies Indoors Series • Garden Design • Intro to Cut Flower Garden Series • Dairy in a Box • Beginner Watercolor Series • Outdoor Skills Series • Rabbit Programs • Sullivan County Youth Fair • Sullivan County Public Presentations • Winter Workshop Take and Makes • Fiber Arts For All Program • Crafty Clover Kids Program • Geology Program • Beef Cattle Program • Poultry Program • Horse Hippology Program • Horse Communications • Town of Mamakating Summer Program • Town of Liberty Summer Program • Sullivan West School Program • Eldred School Program • Roscoe School Program • Horse Judging • DEC Pheasant Program • Yarnstorming
