WORKSHOPS

 

Looks like we’re set to have workshops in November. Workshops will run an entire Saturday. Each session is usually 1 ˝ hours long, and you can sign up for one or up to four and spend the day!

Each is designed to help you get started on a Fair Project.  It’s a great time to learn a new skill or try out a new project area.

 

So far, we have workshops planned on:

            Rabbits – Care and Selection

            Aerospace

            Latch Hook

            Recycling Boxes (Woodcraft)

            Recycling – Placemats

3) Developing club’s depth by working on awareness and involvement of County and State 4-H Opportunities.  

4) Choose a Charity of our Choice to donate funding and possibly volunteer activities.

5) Group Activities – both educational and recreational. At least one of each this year.
