County Impact Statements - Conway County
4-H is a Family Affair for the Danny Parrish Family
County-wide activities that provide opportunities for 4-H’ers to learn skills
include public speaking, talent, foods demonstration, fashion revue, outdoor o-rama,
annual awards banquet and county fair. Conway County youth also participate in
state camps, Citizenship-Washington Focus and the state fair.
County 4-H’ers are involved in many community activities, donating their time
to such things as the Great Arkansas Pig Out, Farm Bureau annual dinner, 4-H
Foundation luncheon, trees in county for Arbor Day, Christmas in the Park and
decorations for county tree at state capitol.
Day camps for 4-H’ers and community youth focused on the study of Indian
heritage including making dream catchers, rain makers, tee pees, and recipes.
Table manners classes are a tremendous opportunity for young people. - Conway

4-H is not just about animals. It is about developing self-esteem, learning
to keep records, speaking in front of groups, making life-long friends, trips
and much much more. 4-H is one of my best experiences. - Senior 4-H Member
