How Many Times Can You Celebrate One Birthday?


The answer to that question is based on your age. When you turn one hundred you can celebrate for at least three years and have as many cakes as you want. That's right we celebrated the North Carolina 4-H Centennial again. This time it was as part of the annual 4-H Youth Achievement Night in Robeson County.

The cake was actually three sheet cakes. I carved them into a one and two zeros. Each cake was also a different flavor. The one was a butter cake, one of the zero's was devil's food cake while the other was a marble cake. All were iced in white icing with green border, and confetti sprinkles across the top of each.

As part of the event the 4-H staff, State Senator Michael Walters, County Commissioner Hubert Sealey and County Extension Director Everett Davis took part in the cake cutting. The audience of 120 sang happy birthday, twice. To see photos from the special evening and learn more about the night check out the 4-H blog.

The cake seemed to go over well. When we cleaned up from the evening...there was less than one cake left, and people taking cake home with them. Congratulations 4-H!
