New ‘Charlotte’s Web’ film reinforces 4-H values
NORWICH A classic tale, spun like no other, will be coming to life in movie theaters this week. "Charlotte’s Web," a story of dedication, friendship and loyalty is a heartwarming family tale filled with values closely linked to the 4-H Youth Development program. The movie opens today at Colonia Theater in Norwich. “4-H encourages young people to use their head, heart, hands and health to become strong, confident and contributing citizens. Similarly, in ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ Fern uses her head, heart, hands and health to encourage family and friends to save Wilbur from the smokehouse,” said Liz Bunce, Extension Educator for youth development.
Hard work and dedication is shown throughout the film in various ways and Wilbur shows exactly the level of commitment young people make in 4-H programs. “Whether they are raising a pig, designing a web site or participating in local community service activities, the film gives children confidence in themselves through their 4-H efforts,” said Bunce. “Fern exemplifies the essential elements of 4-H Youth Development such as belonging, mastery, independence and generosity, as she helps to save Wilbur and brings a community together.”
“Charlotte’s Web” is a tale that has been heard, seen and read for decades and with every new generation the tale is seen in a new light. 4-H works to open the same door for young people to learn of leadership, citizenship and life skills just as it is shown in “Charlotte’s Web.”
Hollywood Movie Money has partnered with the National 4-H Council to raise money for 4-H programming in every state as a way of showing appreciation for the concepts and life skills 4-H teaches children. For every ticket purchased for Paramount Pictures and Walden Media's production of “Charlotte’s Web,” a $1 donation to 4-H in support of the New York State 4-H program will be donated.
This opportunity is only available by purchasing your tickets through the National 4-H Council web site. Tickets purchased directly at movie theaters will not contribute to this program.
Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.fourhcouncil.edu. Click on the “Buy Tickets” and follow the instructions. Pricing at your local theater will determine the cost.

Certificates expire Jan. 31, 2007.
Tickets can also be purchased at the 4-H office as a limited quantity of certificates are available. Call the 4-H office at 334-5841 with any questions.
