2008 | 2009 | 2010 Oklahoma 4-H State Report Charles Cox (Charles.Cox@okstate.edu) Aug 2008 – 2009 Much of the year has focused on events associated with our Centennial year. We have been working on a history book with highlights from each of the 77 counties. We worked with Eskimo Joe’s eateries and clothing to create a new 4-H t-shirt, youth created a 4-H garden which was featured on the educational television show Oklahoma Gardening. A tourism curriculum was developed called the “Centennial Roadtrip” which places an emphasis on engaging families and enhancing youth and adult partnerships. We are planning an event in the fall at a mile long corn maze and a capstone Gala event. Some program highlights have included an emphasis on reaching military families through the OMK program. The state emphasized programs in health including Health Rocks and the Farm to You mobile exhibit. Another area of emphasis was in the area of Science Technology Engineering and Math. We conducted many workshops related to GPS and other technologies along with having a group of youth on campus for the National 4-H Science Day Experiment. 4-H enrollment topped 125,000 the largest in the past three years and the annual income for the 4-H Foundation also set a new annual giving record.
