On Saturday, our 4-H Fishing Club gathered at Camp Pinehill for a very special day as we celebrated the life and memory of Mr. David Johnson, who passed away earlier this year. Mr. David was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather who had a true love for the outdoors.

Mr. David enjoyed spending time in nature, and we know he would have loved seeing our 4-H youth gathered around the pond—fishing, learning, and making memories with their friends and families. 🎣💚

Generous donations made to the David Johnson 4-H Memorial Fund have helped support our Fishing Club this year and provide opportunities for local youth to experience and appreciate the outdoors. We are incredibly grateful to the Johnson family for allowing Mr. David’s memory and love of the outdoors to live on by helping us inspire that same love in the next generation of 4-H members.

The Johnson family also treated our members to a variety of yummy snacks and drinks, which was such a thoughtful addition to our special evening! We truly appreciate their generosity and hospitality.

A special thank you to Camp Pinehill for welcoming our club and allowing us to enjoy their beautiful pond. We also appreciate Michael Sapp for taking the time to talk with our members about camp opportunities.

Finally, a huge thank you to our wonderful 4-H parent volunteers who helped our members with rods and bait, shared fishing tips and tricks, and encouraged our young anglers throughout the evening. We are so fortunate to have caring parents and volunteers who are always willing to lend a hand and help make experiences like this possible.

It was a beautiful evening of fishing, fellowship, and remembering Mr. David—and a wonderful reminder of how one person’s legacy can continue making a difference for generations to come.

Check out these pictures from Sunday’s 4-H Shooting Sports Club Kickoff Meeting! We had 22 youth join us for a great afternoon of meeting new members, reconnecting with returning members, and getting in a round of practice.

This club would not be possible without our dedicated parent volunteers and coaches who generously give their time and knowledge to our 4-H members. A huge thank you to Ray George and Byron Covington for leading our groups through their practice rounds and helping our youth build their skills and confidence.

We would also like to thank the Dillon County R***e & Gun Club for allowing our 4-H members to use their facility for practices. We truly appreciate their continued support of our program and our youth!

Our Mrs. Susie's Cooking Squad workshop was a huge success! 🍝👩‍🍳

Eight 4-H members spent the day in the kitchen learning cooking tips and tricks from the one and only Mrs. Susie Lee. Together they prepared spaghetti, garlic bread, Caesar salad, and tiramisu for dessert. Everyone had a great time building new kitchen skills while creating a delicious meal from start to finish!

A very special thank you to Mrs. Susie for sharing her time, talents, and passion for cooking with our 4-H youth. She is such an incredible asset to our Dillon County 4-H program, and we are so grateful for her dedication to teaching the next generation confidence and creativity in the kitchen.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Emily Long for assisting throughout the workshop. As always, she was a tremendous help, and we truly appreciate her willingness to support our 4-H programs.

We can't wait to get this amazing group back together for more cooking adventures! 💚🍽️

🎅🏝️Christmas came early at Dillon County 4-H during our Christmas in July Workshop!

Our youth had a wonderful time sewing their own Christmas stockings, painting seashell ornaments, building snowman traps, creating Grinch kabobs, competing in reindeer games, and cooling off with an indoor snowball fight. We cranked up the Christmas music, embraced the holiday spirit, and pretended the July heat was a little more like December!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers—Mrs. Janet Holder, Emily Long, Terrie Curtis, and Peggy Gardner—for sharing your time and talents to make this workshop such a success. We couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun-filled day of Christmas cheer. ☀️🎁❄️

What a great afternoon with our 4-H Fishing Club this past Saturday at Huggins Pond in Lake View!

A huge thank you to the Huggins family for welcoming us back to their beautiful pond. Our members enjoyed an afternoon filled with fishing, fellowship, and plenty of fun. Congratulations to Logan Spivey for catching the first fish of the day and to Weston Covington for reeling in the largest fish!

We were also excited to welcome a special surprise guest, Mr. Billy, who founded our fishing club more than five years ago. It was wonderful to spend time with him and reflect on how much the club has grown over the years.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the Johnson family for choosing Dillon County 4-H as the memorial recipient in honor of their father and husband, Mr. David Johnson. Through donations raised, we were able to purchase bait and prizes for our fishing club. We look forward to providing many more outdoor learning experiences for our youth in Mr. David's memory.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this fishing day such a success. We can't wait until our next trip! 🍀♥️🎣

What a fantastic day at our 4-H Carolina S**g Camp! 💃🕺
Our youth had an amazing time learning the basics of South Carolina's official state dance, the Carolina S**g. A huge thank you to Jodie Branham for leading our camp and sharing her tips, tricks, and passion for s**g dancing with our participants. We appreciate her willingness to invest her time and talents in our youth!

We would also like to thank our wonderful volunteers, Ms. Za'Bajhia, Mrs. Emily, and T., for helping throughout the day. Programs like this would not be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers who are always willing to lend a hand. We are so grateful for each of you!

🎵 Fun Fact: The Carolina S**g became South Carolina's official state dance in 1984! The dance originated along the beaches of the Carolinas and remains an important part of our state's culture and heritage. It's exciting to see the next generation learning and keeping this tradition alive!

Thank you to all of our campers for bringing your energy, enthusiasm, and dancing shoes. We had a blast and hope you did too! ❤️🍍🌴
