Late arrivals welcome- early bird rate will remain permanent!

We've got a great 4-H crowd committed to attending the 2010 Northeast Regional Volunteer Forum and we are very pleased with our list of attendees and can't wait to see all of you (and meet some of you for the first time) in less than 4 weeks! And guess what, we have room for more! More clover, more green, more fun!

Please spread the word to your friends, and those who plan things at the last minute (gulp! yes there are some of us out there) that it is never too late to be a part this wonderful 4-H tradition.  The early bird rate is now the standard fixed rate and walk in registrations on Thursday will be welcomed at the rate of $300.

So, if you have a 4-H friend sitting on the fence, tell them to hop off and join you! We will get them signed up for some workshops and or tour that they will love.

I'm an authentic 4-H Rehoboth Early Bird and I am holding a spot for you at my rate!  I might steal a french fry from you however, as my commission!

Delaware artist donates framed work to live auction

Delaware artist Brian Magargal has generously donated a signed, framed print of  Rocking Horse (seen here without the frame).

We are grateful for Brian's talent and support of Delaware 4-H. As an art educator at Salesianum School in Wilmington, Brian connects with youth and helps them communicate through art...something he and 4-H have in common. Good luck at the auction!

Rehoboth doesn't slow down in the fall at all!

Less than a month away- if Nov. 4-7 is anything like Oct. 9, you will find Rehoboth Beach bustling with activity, creative shops to fit every interest open and ready to do business. Today it was 77 degrees! Last year in November, the weather was the same. We can only hope for a repeat! These were all taken October 9, 2010!

Thrasher's have the best french fries...and their building confirms how nice it was on October 9th!

Alley storefronts offer added beauty that welcome you  on every turn!

Nothing quite like a Saturday stroll on Rehoboth's one mile boardwalk. Shorts in October?  Who would have thought?

The  Rehoboth Bandstand occupies center stage and harkens to a century ago when Rehoboth became a vacation destination.

One of the store-filled alleys off Rehoboth Avenue. There is something here for everyone!

Outside of Browseabout Books- an old fashioned bookstore, stationer and gift shop. A must stop!

Always fun to see how some vendors market their wares. This is one of Rehoboth's many interesting jewelery and fashion stores.

If it's fall, it means caramel apples with all kinds of toppings. They don't last long on their wax paper shelves!

Entrance into Penny Lane, another alley full of shops.

Lunch vouchers available for Grotto's- so popular, it has many locations in Rehoboth.

Kayla Martell - Miss Delaware update!

Our new Miss Delaware 2010 sure is busy - beautifully representing Delaware and 4-H all across the state! As such, her schedule to visit our NERVF forum had to be tweaked a little. Kayla will now be joining us on Sunday, November 7.

We're sure you will find her story as inspiring as we do! As the Northeast Regional Volunteer Forum comes to a close on Sunday, we hope you will will leave Delaware moved by Kayla's message of how 4-H Youth Programming instilled her with self- confidence and prepared her for many of Kayla's important causes and missions as Miss Delaware 2010.
