4-H Federation
FEDERATION NEWS
All 4-Hers, ages 12 and older, are welcome to become a part of our county 4-H Federation. This group meets monthly to coordinate county 4-H activities, enjoy programs, and have fun.
This year, Federation is pursuing an "Environment & Natural Resources" theme. Monthly program details are still being finalized, but the plan for the year looks something like this:
Jan. 21 (MLK Day) – National Mississippi River Museum Trip
Feb. 28 – Geodes w/ Mike Henderson
Mar. 13 – TBD
Apr. 28 – Natural Resources Careers Night
May 15 – Canoeing
Jun. 26 – GPS in Nature w/ Greg Clark
July 24 – Fishing
This schedule will have us touring the countryside some, but it should prove to be very interesting and enjoyable!
The Federation has been busy this fall coordinating the 4-H Kick-off Party, the Federation campfire, Advanced Day of Dabbling, and the farm-themed county achievement program. Many thanks to all of the committee members and Federation parents who are dedicated to making things happen in our county!
