Webster County Points of Pride

• Six people participating in The Right Bite diabetic cooking school gained valuable knowledge about preparing foods for people with diabetes. Diabetes information, food preparation demonstrations, and food tasting filled the agenda.
  
  
• 4-H members earn fee reductions for county 4-H camp by doing community service work at Camp Caesar; 90 4-H members performed 477 hours of work last year, earning more than $1,000 in camp fee reductions. They also gained valuable skills and developed a commitment to community service.
  
  
• Energy Express continues to help younger students maintain educational achievement and nutrition levels during the summer. Last year, 96 students participated in this creative reading program at two sites. Also, 14 mentors gained valuable experience and money to support their college education. Major local partners are Webster County Schools and Mountain Community Action Program.

• Three home gardening workshops held in collaboration with H.O.P.E. United Food Pantry attracted 57 gardeners.
  
  
• 4-H camping continues to grow. The 130 4-H campers experienced group living and developed skills in citizenship, leadership, and communication. Forty adult volunteers helped with camp.
