Join us to hone your performing arts skills, practice some creative storytelling, and have some fun!

Summer 4-H Project Day
Saturday, June 8th, 2024
9:00 - 11:50am

The purpose of this day is to actively engage our 4-H members (5K – 13th Grade) in project-based learning through hands-on activities. This is NOT necessarily a “make-and-take” event, where participants should expect to leave with a completed fair project. Rather, we want to engage youth in exploring their SPARKS, while building project knowledge and skills they can go home and apply, making their best projects better.
