What a month November has been. I had
such a surprise this month while I was showing rabbits at the Lebanon valley
rabbit breeders show on Saturday November 9. At this show I took second in reserve
in show this was a huge shock to me and the biggest award that I got at showing
at an ARBA sanctioned show. In the month of November was a very rewarding time
for me and to be thankful of what good parents I have they showed me how hard
work pays off and that was proven to me the night of the 15 at our 4-H achievement
banquet. At this event I had the opportunity to talk to all of the members in attendance
from various 4-H clubs in Schuylkill County and tell them about what we do in my
county 4-H is manly all livestock and horse clubs but until next month we will
be starting a Poultry and also a shooting sports club. I explained how in 4-H
there are people with a little or no agricultural background. Witch in our
county is unheard of because we all have some sort of an agricultural background
because 4-H in our county was all that it consisted of. It was nice to get to
sit down at the annual PA farm bureau meeting and talk about agriculture to the
Young farmer and rancher committee. We also went down to the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture and spoke with the Secretary of Ag Sec. Grieg. While there
we also visited the different labs there and learned what they do. Now I’m
getting ready to jump on a plane and head down to Georgia for National 4-H Congress
I can’t wait to meet new people and learn how 4-H is in other states compared
to here in our state of Pennsylvania.
Happy Holidays,
Brendin Freeman
