I'm great. So we're not gonna get into we'll start
in the second segment, But tell me a bit about
yourself and your title with four H.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
So I am the Charlotte County four H agent, so
I oversee all of the four H programming in our county.
But I have a long history with four H. So
I grew up doing four H from the time I
was five until I was eighteen. So I have a
love for the four H program and growing up in
it and seeing what it does for kids. So originally

(08:39):
I was supposed to be an elementary teacher. I did
that for one year and that was enough for me.
So I get to go in the schools and be
the fun person.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah now you're that fun Yeah yeah, I love it
all right, So we're gonna go into our first break,
We're gonna come back. We're gonna talk about everything four AGED.
We're gonna have about some events going on, of course,
affairs coming up, and so stick.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
With us, and you're listening to news radio wccif.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Play with your history as an investor, Where do you
go when there are so many changes in real estate
like rising interest rates, inflation, questions about the overall economy.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
I talk to Matthew Patterson of the Patterson Group at
Keller Williams Peace River Partners. Matthew expertly handles any challenge,
making you more money and less time absolutely stress free.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's true. Working with an agent who is not petrified
when there are shifts in the market makes the process
easier and more profitable. Having a marketing plan in place
that offers multiple options for you means you get more
money and less stress.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
A lot of agents dial back their marketing when there
is a hint of change, or even just because of
the calendar. Can you believe there are agents who say
you can't sell your home in the fall or winter.
Life continues to happen regardless of the economy and has
no regard for the calendar.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
With so much experience, Matthew and his team have seen
it all and in this market you need them to
advocate for you.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Look come up today, Google the Patterson Group, or just
go to Matthew Patterson dot com. That's Matthew Patterson dot com.

Let's get back to Matthew. He has a wonderful guest
and we'll be talking with her. So matt take it away.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I do have a wonderful guest. And you know, if
you're tuning in for real estate, I promise you we're
going to talk some more real estate. We're gonna talk
about the listings coming up. We're gonna talk about a
couple of things I'm experiencing right now in the market.
But right now I want to switch gears. I want
to talk four h and I'll tell you this has
kind of happened. Obviously. Christy's a dear friend of mine

(12:27):
and her family, and as everyone knows, my heavy grace
is five now, and she is an animal lover. And
you know, I saw growing up in Indiana and the country,
I had a lot of friends that were in for
H and saw what had done in their lives, and

(12:48):
so I'm really happy that Evye's a part of it
and Christy's made that happen, and she is so amazing
with the kids and just has a passion for it.
I was first introduced to it through the Clay Sporting Shoot,
which obviously I love guns and shooting plays, believe it
or not, I think, Christy, this is the seventh year. Yep, okay,

(13:12):
so the first year, and this is at Burmont Shooting Club.
Has been there every year, and the event just gets
bigger and bigger and more awesome, right, I mean great
prizes and fun and giveaway, and all the money goes
to four h which is amazing. And you've built a
heck of a program there. I remember how many teams

(13:35):
did we had the first year?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Oh gosh, I think we had like seven teams when
we started.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, and I think that's when we won and it
was only like seven. Yeah, And now how many I
mean twenty to thirty usually?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, I think yeah, I think right now, we have
twenty four signed up.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Do we have room to get others in?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
We have a few spots left, A few spots, that's right.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
So which I found today one of the guys on
my team happens to be on another on my real
estate team, happen to be on another team shooting against
us this weekend. So there's been a little trash talk
going on in the office. So Nick and I are
gonna have to step up and represent. And we got
Papa Homer so and Robert so we got this. So
the clay shoot, you know, it's been amazing. It brings

(14:20):
funds into the fore H. What else do you have going? So,
I mean throughout the year because obviously I focus on
that in January, but I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Like fundraiser wise, well all of it.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, I mean, well let's start here. For H, what
exactly is it?

Speaker 3 (14:39):
So? Four H to me is a way for kids
to gain life skills. Four H is the largest youth
development organization in the United States. So for H itself
reaches over six million kids every year. But for H
and Charlotte County, we reached two hundred and fifty kids
through H clubs. So meeting after school with volunteers, and

(15:04):
clubs could range anywhere from raising animals to training their dogs,
learning how to cook and cooking, club, photography, tons of
different things. We have nineteen different clubs this year, all
pretty much run by volunteers.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, so you say cooking, and I know this one
just because Evy's been going to that and now she
is quite the helper. So that's pretty cool. I didn't
know there was photography and all of that.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah, we have tons of different things.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
And what I like. And if parents are listening, it
helps keep them off the phones too.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, that's the has So he's still well don't they all?
I mean he has no options with technology? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, okay, so you know, so they start out what
is clover buds?

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yep? So clover Buds starts at five years old, So
for H starts at September first, so as of September one,
if they're five, they can join four H and they
go all the way until they graduate at eighteen.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
So what are you doing clover buds.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Clover Buds is exploring four H, so getting to see
all of the different projects that four H offers. So
we've done art, dogs, entomology, exploring bugs, lots of different things.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
You're putting art on the dogs.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Or they wish they could, oh oh no.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
All right, so yeah, so it's given them a taste
of it.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Right, yeah, just kind of seeing what four H is
all about before they dive in headfirst into a project.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Do you see that they usually start to gravitate toward
one animal or something during clover buzz that they start
getting interested in.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
So the little kids seem to want to do pigs
and steers, but they're not old enough yet, so they
tend they do rabbits and chickens mostly. I would say
those are the most popular clover bud activities. Heavy Grace
and we've gotten her into the goats, so that's another

(17:08):
aspect of four H. Matt over here is not too
fond of those.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm fond is just a lot. Okay, So which I'm
thinking about this, I gotta say it. I think we
got to brag on somebody, your son this last weekend.
Tell me about that.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
So we started pigs a couple of years ago and
knew nothing, and with the help of a really great
person and some guidance from him, we've raised two pigs
this year. I say we because four h is really
a family project. It's as you know, you don't just
send your kid to go show their goat. You have
to go with it nice. But it's a daily project

(17:52):
for the family. Anyways, we went to the South Florida
Fair and Bryson had a pig weighing two hundred and
eighty pounds and he competed against one hundred and forty
other kids and one grand champion overall with his pig.
Yeah that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, yeah, he was. He was super excited, blown away.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Actually, yeah, that's increatable when the judge picked him.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. And to see the work that
he's put in and and and what he's learning and
how he's maturing at it is really cool.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, he's learning a lot more responsibility. We're working on it.
So you know, it used to be mom, can you
go do this? And now it's more like, all right,
I gotta go wash the pig today again.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's good. That's good. Okay, So they get out of
clover buds and then well, okay, I was gonna ask you,
what age can they show hogs and steers.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
They can start doing everything at eight, so all the
large animals some we don't at this moment. We need
a volunteer, hint, hint to do shooting sports. Shooting sports
is really popular. But they can do guns archery at
eight years old too.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Wow. Okay, you had me at shooting and by the way,
on here, we don't have to hint, we just say it.
We need we need to volunteer. Okay, so so cool.
So a I need to get her out of four
age eight or it's gonna be hogs in steers.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
You are getting pigs, great to say.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Okay, so then what so they get out of clover
buds obviously? So are they in clover buds until eight?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
I'm sorry, Yeah, they're in clover buds until eight. And
when they get out of clover buds they go on
to all the other projects. I would say that's when
more of the leadership starts happening. So we really want
them to gain leadership skills being club officers in their clubs,
mentoring younger youth, and getting more involved in their projects.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Okay, do you have to live on acres? Do you
have to have a farm to be in forged?

Speaker 10 (19:59):
You?

Speaker 3 (20:00):
You not? Although we don't have a club barn, some
counties have club barns where kids who live in town
can raise their animals. We at this point give them
the opportunity to do other animals or other projects. So
if they want to go to the fair and show something,
they can do rabbits or chickens. But also we started

(20:21):
the citrus program. And so the citrus program was started
to allow kids who don't have property to be able
to show something at the fair. So in July they
pick up a citrus tree, they raise it throughout the year,
and they show it and sell it at the fair.
And it's just kind of bringing back citrus because it's
such a big commodity in Florida and educating kids about

(20:44):
that citrus industry right now is going through hard times.
So we're hoping, yeah, to give these kids a love
of citrus and hope that they can help that industry
in the future.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I love it. Yeah, Everly, like I said, we don't
hit on. So if ebody wants to know, Everally has
a citrus tree this year, and you know, my hope
with her is whatever money she gets from a you know,
I want to set up an account. I want her
to manage it and then you know, do four each
with that to get to start teaching her you know,
value of a dollar as far as handling an account.

(21:17):
I mean, this is how it works. I know a
lot of these kids the proceeds from them selling their steer,
their hogs. I got a couple letters on my desk
this morning asking if I was coming to the fair,
and was saying that they had funded their entire project
this year. That's really cool.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, it really teaches kids that money doesn't grow on trees.

Speaker 10 (21:41):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
We've pretty much paid for our kids projects up to
this point. Yeah, to get them started, but we've decided
now they want to raise three pigs each, so they
have to start funding some of that themselves. So we
want to get them a debit card and do all
of that. But a lot of the kids to use
that money for college. We're you know, a trade school,
whatever they do when they graduate school.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, okay, so we're gonna talk about the fair when
we come back. We got another break coming up here,
give me just one of and then we'll roll into it.
Also on the next segment of the need that you
have for four eights, because right now I've already heard
we need a community building.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, so four h what people don't understand is that
we are funded on community donations. So yes, we are
part of the University of Florida, but they essentially pay
my salary and a program assistant. So all of the
money that we run on with our clubs providing opportunities
for kids going into schools and doing programming, which we're

(22:45):
in over fifty classrooms this year, is all from community donations.
So we really just need community funding to better our program.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Okay, we're gonna do this a couple of times, but
as we end this segment, why don't you tell them
how they can get a hold of you or who
they need to get a hold of if they want
to explore for each more.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
So you can contact me via email at k Popa
Popa at ufl dot edu, or give us a call
at nine four one eight three three three eight three
six buck.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
If you were selling your home today, what would be
the first piece of information you'd need to know?

Speaker 4 (23:22):
I would want to accurately know the value of my
home in today's market. I would also want an agent
with the most amount of local market knowledge, and then
I could trust to get me through the process with
the least amount of stress.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
I'd talk to Matthew Patterson of the Patterson Group at
Keller Williams Peace River Partners. Matthew expertly handles any challenge,

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Okay, hey, we're talking real estate today, don't you worry.
But of course right now we're talking four h Well,
I'm just gonna call this the heavy Show because it
would mean a lot to her. So today, uh, we're
here with Christy Popa from the Charlotte County four h
and so glad to have you. We had left off.
We were tall talking about the needs, the needs of

(26:02):
four age, is anything else that comes to mind? You
know you had mentioned volunteers earlier. What else I mean?

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah, we're always in need of volunteers. Really, we can
create a four h club of just about anything. In
the past, we've done a sign language club, shooting, sports,
a lot of different things that kids enjoy.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
What about gardening, So we actually.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Have a gardening and horticulture club this year. But again,
anything that people are interested in, we would love to
start a club. You have to go through short I
say short volunteer screening just to make sure we keep
the kids safe. But usually our clubs start up in September,
so you have the next six months to think about

(26:47):
what you're interested in and if you'd be willing to
help out four.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
H So great, love it? Okay, So right around the
corner is the fair.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, the Charlotte County Fairs coming up. Kids start bringing
animals next Wednesday and Thursday.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah okay, freeze, Yeah, that's right. So what do we
have to look forward to?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
So just kind of run through the schedule. Next Friday
at seven pm is the Hog Show. If everything works
out how it should, we have over seventy I think
seventy pigs this year. Saturday at one is the steer Show,
over thirty steers this year, and then breeding animals, so

(27:29):
Heifer's Bulls at Saturday at five. Sunday is the poultry
show as well as the rabbit Show from nine to
about one o'clock, and then on Monday evening is the
goat Show at seven pm. Probably the most important night
for the kids is Friday night, and that is sale

(27:50):
night for large animals.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
That's a big night for them. I mean, you know,
let's just skim over that they work all year for this.
This is a big deal to them, and you'll see
a lot of the a lot of the community out
there supporting them and purchasing their animals. So definitely, if
you can make it, that's a great night. And I

(28:11):
want to mention if you know, if you are which
I mean obviously you're eating natural food, it's great. You
know you don't have to worry about where do I
take it, what do I do? That's you know, those
vendors are all there, so they make it very easy
for you.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah, and say you wanted a pig and you only
wanted sausage, you can get it cut out up however
you would like. So it's at your exactly right, your choice.
So and that's Friday, February seventh at six pm, and
that's at the Charlotte County Fairgrounds in the live stockbarn.
Perfect the don't we can't forget the younger kids or

(28:47):
well some older kids too. But the small animal auction rabbits, chickens,
goats is Saturday February eight at two pm. And then
the citrus trees are sold by silent auction. So they
will be on silent auction from January thirty first through
February seventh. So you come sign your name on the clipboard,

(29:09):
make a bid and support the kids who have citrus
trees as well.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Now we'll that be online at all for bidding.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Not so, but you can call us and we'll write
a bid down.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I was gonna say, well gotta I gotta come back again.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, come support these kids.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
I am okay, what else is going on?

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Fair wise? Fair wise? So the kids are are doing
more than just exhibiting their animals. Four h puts on
a lot of activities. We're thankful for the fair for
allowing us to do that. We do have items in
the exhibit booths. So kids who don't show animals have
been doing art, poster boards, educational displays, a lot of

(29:55):
different things that are displayed in the building when you
walk into the barn, so check those out along with
all the other schools that have their art and things
displayed as well.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I always get so wrapped up in the animals. I
first go check that out, and you check that out.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
They have some pretty cool stuff in there. We do
interview judging, so the kids talk to judges about their
project when awards for that skilethons where they are taking
quizzes about their project, animal or whatever their project might
be and winning prizes, and then we do host a
game night for the four h kids, which is a

(30:29):
lot of fun as well. So they're going to be
really busy for about ten days coming up.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, so you mentioned something, you know, as far as
you know their knowledge of the animals, talk a little
bit about that, because that's the thing. It's not just
basing the animal, feeding it and showing it. They've got
to know quite a bit about.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
It, right, Yeah, So we try to educate educate kids
that it's it is more than just feeding and you know,
basic care of the animal. You have to know well one,
you have to know things for showmanships. So if showmanship
judge might ask you the parts of the animal, the
cuts of the meat, knowing the age, the breed. You

(31:13):
know lots of different things about their animals.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
So I can't just point to the ears and the tail.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
No even the you know, everly with her goats, no
parts of the stomach.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
So that's what I know, and I was blown away.
I was like, oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yeah, so they have to know a lot more than that.
But also it's not just picking up a bag of
feed at a local store and feeding it. It's understanding
the protein and what's in the feeds and mixing different
feeds or you know, supplementing with additives to get them
to what they really need to be and the best
meat they can get for their buyers.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
So love it all.

Speaker 11 (31:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
As we wrap up with four ages or anything else
you want to add, young lady.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I just really want to emphasize the benefit that four
H has for youth and them learning life skills throughout
their projects, whether it's animals or art or cooking. They're
keeping records and doing record books, so they're managing their
funds and keeping records of what they're doing. They're learning
how to talk to other people, how to present the Yeah,

(32:20):
so communication is really big in four H and one
of our main goals is stem or STEAM so science, Technology, Engineering,
Art and math, and so that's a big goal for
Florida for H and extension with the university. So just
putting that into everything we do to prepare them to
be workforce ready. So it's with volunteers and community members

(32:45):
like you that we're able to make that possible.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
So I can't think of a final organization to help
get the kiddos ready for life.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, we do our best, for sure, but we're always
in need of volunteers because we couldn't do what we
do without them.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I think I've heard you say a few time volunteers. Yeah, okay,
so they want to volunteer, they want to get their grandkids,
their kids in the four h Give it to us again.
How do we get a hold of you? How do
we make that happen?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
It's kpopa at ufl dot ed U or nine four
one eight three three three eight three six. You can
also find us on Facebook. University of Florida IFIs Charlotte County.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Four h s man. That's a lot. Or you can
call Matthew at Matthew Patterson or contact me at Matthew
Patterson dot com if you can't remember all that, and
we will get you in touch with Christy Popa.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
You know where to find me.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I do know where to find you. Thank you, my friend.
I really hope that a lot of people heard this
today and we'll come out to the fair. Support everybody
and support support the kiddos. And uh also, oh wait
real quick, if you don't want to buy something, there
is something else I want to mention too.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, you can do add ons to oay,
is that what you're talking?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Talk so fast? What is an add on? Christy Popo?

Speaker 3 (34:08):
So, an add on is if you do not want
to purchase an animal, every child's name or tree or
tree yes can be added to an add on sheet,
which is a monetary donation that goes directly to the
kids in their check at the end of the well
a month or two after the fair. So it's supporting
them without having to spend the money you would spend

(34:30):
on an animal or getting the meat.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, I mean every big counts. So that and that's
what if you don't have a place for the tree
or you know, you don't want to hold animal or
a quarter in whatever you can, you know, but you
still want to support them, you can do so.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Right, And also we forgot to talk about we will
have it be having a property for sale that will
benefit for H as well.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Well, we should talk about that because we're real estate, right. Okay,
so we've got property that's that we're going to be
listening that all the funds will go to the fore H.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
That's correct, Yes.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
So look forward to that. I will definitely talk about
it on the coming show our shows and we will
let you know what that property is. That's very exciting.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yes, we're excited about it.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, now how did you get that property?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
So the property prior to me becoming the four H
agent was donated to four H and someone's trust will
whatever it might be. So I wasn't there for that.
But no, there's nothing for H can really do with
the property at this point, so we feel that this
is our best route.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
That's right. But that what I wanted to mention there
is if anyone else has property that they wanted to
do the same, you know, they could do so correct.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yes, yeah, we take just about anything.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yeah, and then of course, I mean the Patterision Group's
going to listen at no charge. We want to do
that transaction for the four H so all the money
will then be passed to the four H. I love it.

Speaker 3 (36:01):

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Com and welcome back to Real Estate Exposed. Here at
NewsRadio WCCF. It's eleven forty four and just around the corner,
we've got our hot listings. But Matt's here and he's

(39:41):
got something really cool to tell you about. Looks like it.
I can tell the look on his face.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
No, I'm just saying scient we're rolling into a hot,
hot segment of the show that everybody talks to me about.
One thing. I did want to mention what I'm experiencing
right now with the market, because these are these are
the questions that I'm getting, you know, on the buy
side and the sale side is you know, and I
can tell you on on the sell side, homes are

(40:09):
starting to sell and we're getting you know, a lot
of different properties with more showings, uh more offers. What
I can tell you is if if you are not
priced appropriately, you need to revisit that you need to
reintroduce it to the market. If you have a home
that you're getting ready to put on the market, you
need to really look at these numbers with your agent

(40:31):
and go through them and make sure that you introduce
it to the market properly. Those are the homes getting
the action. Those are the homes being sold as we have,
you know, a bit more inventory. Obviously, you don't want
to be one just on the market that's helping those
sell you if you want to get your soul and
you have a timeline of when you want to do so. Plus,

(40:52):
keep in mind, like I've always said, the longer you
are on the market, the less money you're ultimately going
to end up getting. So there there is a science
to that on the on the purchase side. I hadn't
seen this in a while, but had someone you know,
you know, really sad the other day that they had
just missed out on a home that they had been
watching for some time. If you're watching a home and

(41:15):
you love it and you know it's the home for you,
I can assure you it's going to sell. It's not
going to be there forever. So don't wait too long thinking, oh,
I've been watching it for thirty five, forty sixty days.
It's a different market now. Lastly, if you you know,
if you've had a CMA done on your home, but

(41:36):
it's been over a month ago. For sure, you need
to get a new CMA, a new comparative market analysis.
You need to know intoday's numbers, as the trends change,
exactly what that number is. You may be surprised, you
may have gained some value there. So very important to
get a hold of your agent, and you know, if

(41:58):
you do not have an agent, give us a call
nine four one sixty one eighty six hundred or go
to Matthew Patterson dot com and I would love to
meet with you. Go through that and get a plan
of action that fits your needs and when you want
to be moved. So now let's go into some hot listings.
