Sewing Workshops
Thank you to Jill Tatman and the Delmarvalous Quilters for implementing successful sewing workshops.  4-H members learned how to make a “10 minute runner” just in time for the holidays!  We appreciate all the time and lessons taught to our 4-H members.  Please view our Delaware 4-H Flickr site to view photos from these workshops.

Weather Alert

With winter activities come winter weather and the possibility of cancellations.  The following are ways we notify the public of weather-related cancellations and postponements:

• Notify WMDT and WBOC.  We distinguish ourselves as Carvel Research and Education Center.  UD announcements that do not mention Carvel, such as Del Tech Campus, do not include our facility.
• A message will be left on 302-856-7303
• A message will be posted on our main Carvel website
• Notice will be posted on the Delaware 4-H Facebook page.  This will also feed directly into the Sussex County 4-H webpage.  You do not need Facebook to see the announcement feed.
