Randolph County Points of Pride

• Is something eating more of your garden than you are? Need a soil sample tested? Extension can help. We answer some 450 lawn, garden and pest control questions every year. The 25 new certified Master Gardeners provided 750 hours of community service last year.
  
  
• Randolph County was home to the first 4-H camp ever conducted, Camp Goodluck. Since 1915, 4-H members have been learning positive life skills, citizenship, and leadership skills through camping. More than 200 members attend three camps each year.
  
  
• The county has 13 community 4-H clubs, 380 community club members, 85 volunteers, and 35 teen leaders. Ask us how you can get involved in 4-H!
