Episode 71: The Super Bowl of 4-H: Fair Week with Carolyn McGraw

Carolyn McGraw of Cornell Cooperative Extension talks 4-H, confidence-building, market animals, and screen-time balance at the Dutchess County Fair.

Show notes

Recorded live from the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, Emily Sachar chats with Carolyn McGraw, the new 4-H Youth Leadership and Workforce Development Program Leader at Cornell Cooperative Extension. Carolyn shares her own path from lifelong 4-H'er to program leader, explains how 4-H builds confidence and public-speaking skills far beyond the show ring, and gets candid about the hardest lesson kids learn on sale night. They also dig into how 4-H competes with screens and social media for kids' attention, where Dutchess County membership stands post-COVID, and how families can get involved. Sponsored this week by Foster's at the Fair.

Produced by Emily Sachar, Walter Mullin, Matty Rosenberg, and Jennifer Hammoud at the Radio Free Rhinecilff studio
