Forsyth Shines Bright at NC 4-H Electric Programs

Forsyth County had six youth and one adult volunteer participate in the 73rd Annual North Carolina 4-H Electric Congress. This year's event was held virtually. The annual event is sponsored by Duke Energy and Dominion Energy.

Electric Congress is held for county winning 4-H’ers who participate in the electric program. To attend, youth must be 11 years of age (by Jan.1st). Each county may send their top two project winners, top two portfolio winners (three years' of project work), and one electric program recruiter (the youth that has done the best job of recruiting other youth to participate in the electric program). This year's delegates included:

• Luke Arrowood, Electric Portfolio Winner
• Calleigh Wilson, Electric Portfolio Winner
• Nathan Patton, Electric Project Winner
• Victoria Richardson, Electric Project Winner
• Zane Richardson, Electric Recruiting Delegate
• Carla Arrowood, 4-H Volunteer
