New 4-H Year Begins October 1

National 4-H Week and 484H

National 4-H Week is celebrated Oct. 2-9 and 4-H families will have a variety of activities and events to encourage new families and celebrate all things 4-H!

484H is a service weekend which will be held Oct. 8/9 and is a state-wide challenge to see how many hours of community service can be completed by 4-H members and their families during this time. Projects may include cleaning road ditches, parks, or other areas, or could include any number of other service projects important to our communities! Be on the lookout for 4-H families that weekend and cheer on their good work.
