Manassas, VA: Character-Building at the 4-H Fair camp

Character-building can take place anywhere, and it was certainly at home at 4-H Fair Camp at the Prince William County Fair over August 15-19, 2005.

In the Show Barn, 4-H youth education coordinator Sharon Race taught kids to make character color wheels, using the Six Pillar colors. They colored Trustworthy" sections blue ("true blue"), for instance, and Respect sections yellow ("the golden rule").

Community groups and schools also use CC!, and it seems to be working. According to a reporter for the Potomac News & Journal Messenger, "No matter what the [4-H] kids chattered about, there were no bad attitudes, no swearing or even talk of activities like video games.
