Cottonwood Barton 4-H held 4-H Club Day in February. This event provides opportunities for 4-H to showcase their presentation skills while receiving feedback from a judge for areas of improvement. Youth participate in Project Talks (specific information about one of the 40 project areas), a Demonstration (shows how to do something),  an Illustrated Talk (tells how to do something or about something), and Public or Extemporaneous Speaking. They also have an opportunity to showcase teamwork through skits or model meetings (Parliamentary procedure).

Cottonwood Ellis 4-H will hold their 4-H Club Day on Sunday, March 6.

The 4-H2O Ambassador team has added new members and held their first training session for 2022. This group of 7 youth are provided training by a variety of partners including Cottonwood Extension 4-H, Hays Water Resources Department, KSU Watershed specialists, and the Kansas Wetlands Education Center. The 4-H Water Ambassador program is a leadership opportunity for teens 13 and older, focusing on the importance of water quality, water conservation and water careers. Master Gardeners also had the opportunity to participate in the training.
