SET in action! Youth launch catapults at West Carroll Parish 4-H Awards Day. 4-H junior leaders enhanced their leadership skills by leading the breakout sessions at the parish 4-H Awards Day. 4-H Horse Project youth explained their project to 4-H'ers attending West Carroll 4-H Awards Day. Demonstrations were given on riding events, and questions were answered about horses. After explaining their project activities, poultry project youth led the 4-H'ers in a friendly game of egg-toss. 4-H'ers learned that a coat hanger, two rubber bands and a plastic spoon can be used to create a catapult that actually works!

The 4-H Beef Project is explained by a fifth-grade 4-H'er. Not only did this youth provide a project demonstration but he helped recruit more livestock youth. Teamwork and communication developed as groups competed to build the tallest balloon tower. Teamwork in action. Everyone must do their job in the bullring activity. Youth learned the importance of communication. 4-H Awards Day is designed for parish youth demonstrating project completion by either completing a portfolio or competing at 4-H Demonstration Day. Winners are announced at Awards Day.
