We have several things planned to celebrate this year’s National 4-H Week which is held October 2nd – October 8th. The description for each day is listed below:

Sunday, October 2nd - Dog Day Out

It will be held from 2:00pm-4:00pm at Huck Sansbury Park. All Personians, young or old, can enter their canine friend in two of the fun categories ranging from craziest for a toy to most beautiful or just get more information on your pooch. If you are interested in receiving an entry form, call us at 599-1195.

Monday, October 3rd – 4-H Balloon Release
Come to the 4-H office at 4:00pm and we will each write a message about why we love 4-H and how to join and then we will release the balloons into the air, asking for the recipient to contact our office.

Tuesday, October 4th – Go Green
This is our day to get out and market 4-H. Wear your 4-H t-shirts and tell a friend about 4-H. Also, keep an ear out to the radio for our public service announcements.
