4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
The four-H's stand for: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. They represent the four points of the 4-H pledge: clearer thinking, greater loyalty, larger service, and better living.
4-H is the youth development program of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, an off-campus program, conducted by Virginia Tech and Virginia State Universities. It is an informal, hands-on education approach focusing on building lifelong learning skills that develop youths' potential. 4-H is a learn-by-doing program for youth ages 5-19.
4-H programs are designed to engage youth in healthy learning experiences, thus increasing self-esteem and problem-solving skills. Youth involvement is by way of community clubs, special interest projects and groups, camps, and special school activities.
4-H projects cover a wide range of subjects such as citizenship, animal science, natural resources and environmental education, family sciences, foods, nutrition, and health, careers and economic education, leadership and personal development and plants, soils, and entomology. A child can concentrate on one subject area or he/she can become involved with a variety of subjects.

32 of the world's most talented sculptors were in Virginia Beach creating incredible works of art for our viewing pleasure. With a world-class venue, talent, and prize purse, Neptune's International Sandsculpting Championship has distinguished itself as a premier event unlike any other for miles. From the gallery feel and extended viewing hours, your sandsculpting fill can be quelled with a single visit.
It's been the signature event of the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival since its inception. Now it becomes the signature event of an entire region as the International Sandsculpting Championship expands to ten days. With an international field of sculptors representing countries from around the world, the expansion of the competition puts this as one of the most distinctive events of its kind in the world.
A huge tent, almost as large as a football field, houses 22 sculptures created by 12 solo and 10 doubles teams! Sculptors competed for the largest prize purse awarded in the country.
