Happy National 4-H Week! National 4-H Week is currently being celebrated across the United States, October 4-10, 2009. Clubs are hosting recognition events, school information events, displaying their project work and helping people learn more about this family program. Watch for 4-H announcements and listen for what 4-H members are doing in your local community in newspapers and local radio stations.
4-H is over 100 years old, and offers learning experiences for boys and girls. 4-H is for families! Parents and other adults help children learn by teaching them about a specific project – for example – plant science. Adults also serve as mentors and assist youth in planning events and running their meetings.

Riley County is home to 14 community 4-H clubs and 3 project clubs. The clubs meet throughout the county, so there is certain to be one near you. October 1 started the new 4-H year; now is the time to consider 4-H for your family. 4-H experiences start for youth as young as 5, and continue through high school. Here is hoping that you catch that clover enthusiasm!
